MEAT PRICES IN N.S.W.
THREAT OF GENERAL STRIKE MOVE BY NEWCASTLE MINERS (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) SYDNEY, January 23. A general strike in all industries in northern New South Wales will be urged by the Miners’ Federation in Newcastle if the dispute in the meat industry is not settled on the basis of retail prices before the butchers’ shops were shut. The Northern Miners’ board of management has decided to seek a conference of all union officials oh Wednesday to discuss theproposal. Members of the board said that many big lodges had urged that the board should take strong action to bring about a satisfactory settlement of the meat dispute. Retail butchers in Newcastle are continuing the stoppage on the grounds that the increase in wholesale and retail prices of meat authorised by the Government will not eliminate the black market operator. Plans for a settlement have been drawn up, but they cannot be submitted to the Newcastle butchers before next week. A report from Brisbane says that wholesale and retail butchers there have declared themselves against a rise in prices.
