STRIKE ON THE BARRIER.
TEAMWAY MEN COME OUT. (Received 9.40 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. Members of the Amalgamated Miners' Association and other unions on the Barrier ire carrying on a strong crusade against non-unionists. A whole shift employed in the Amalgamated Zinc Works struck because four men declined to join the union. Subsequently the whole of the employees of the Silverton Tramway Company were called out, traffic being completely stopped. The employees of several firms knocked off because of the refusal of the clerks to join the union. The trouble threatens to spread. All the unions are strongly supporting the movement, and business is seriously affected. A mass meeting of the Miners' Association decided to ask the Government to nationalise the Silverton trams.
