SYDNEY BRICKLAYERS
EXAMPLE TO BRITISH.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIOHT.)
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 2nd October. The "Morning Post," commenting on a statement made in a lecture by Mr. Bradfield, of Australia, that in building a railway in Sydney the brickwork was completed at an average speed of 1100 bricks per man per day, says:—"While we admit admiration for the New South Wales single-minded Balbuses, we cannot remain blind to the fact that their exploits will'only be regarded by their British brethren as the wanton soldering upon their own limbs of the corroding manacles of the capitalistic tyrant. A British bricklayer' caught laying at the rate of 1100 bricks daily would be hounded out of his union."
