CARGO ON SYDNEY WHARVES
HANDLING BY SOLDIERS CONTINUES SYDNEY, April 2. Servicemen continue to handle cargo ft l he s y dne y wharves. It is estimated that each gang of servicemen handled on an average 35 tons of cargo an 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 rejection of the strike, declaring: ‘‘This is a sorry mess into which these phoney strike leaders have led us. This ties up ships and troops, and thus aids the Fascist enemy. It is a catastrophic strike.” *
