WATERSIDE WORKERS
CLABH WITH GOVERNMENT SHIPPING CIRCLES PERTURBED FATEFUL STOPWORK MEETING United Pres- Assn.—Eler. Tel. Copyrigb: SYDNEY. May 17 Shipping circles are perturbed at the probable outcome of the clash between the Federal Government and the Sydney waterside workers over the latters’ refusal to load tin clippings and scrap iron for Japan. All Sydney wharves will be idle on May 25* for a stopwork meeting of watersiders to decide their attitude on the Government’s ultimatum, which means, if carried out. that every wharf worker in Sydney will be required to take out a licence before he can obtain employment. Sydney unionists so far have escaped the licensing obligation, but the watersiders in Melbourne and Adelaide have been working under it since the last shipping hold-up. More than 3000 tons of scrap metal are lying at the Port Adelaide wharves because of the refusal of the watersiders to load for Japan.
