STEWARDS STRIKE
Club Without Service CV.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) SYDNEY, May 27. A ruling by the club manager that stewards should serve from the left-hand side of a diner and also take away from the same side precipitated a strike which has left members of Australia’s oldest club, the Australian Club, fending for themselves. The ruling upset the stewards, who have been used’ to serving from the left and taking away from the right. The 60 members of the staff have been on strike since Monday. Another main grievance was the recent forced resignation of the second steward over a complaint made four years ago. The complaint was made that he was generally incompetent, but he was Chosen to wait on Princess Alexandra when she was in Australia and also to serve on the Royal yacht Britannia when the Queen was in Sydney.
