AT SYDNEY WHARVES
Servicemen Handle More Than Double The Cargo COMMUNISTS' ATTITUDE Rec. 1 p.m. SYDNEY, this day. Servicemen continue to handle cargo at the Sydney wharves. It is estimated that each gang of servicemen handled on an average 35 tons of cargo per hour compared with about 15 tons handled by wharf labourers since the war began.
A circular, issued by the waterfront section of the Communist party, urges a rejection of the strike, declaring: "This is a sorry mess into which these phoney strike leaders have led us. This strike ties up ships and troops and thus aids the Fascist enemy. It is a catastrophic strike."
