BUILDERS ABSENT.
Men's Action to Secure 40-Hour Week. LOCKED OUT ON MONDAY. (Received 12 noon.) BRISBANE, this day. A further number of building trade employees were absent from work on Saturday in pursuance of the decision to work only a 40-hour week. They were dismissed when they went to commence work on Monday. A meeting of master builders decided to apply to the Arbitration Court for cancellation of the building trade award and the deregistration of the striking unions. A meeting of strikers resolved that unless all men working on conditions other than those acjopted by the building trades group leave work within 24 hours, members of the building trades group will refuse to work with them.
