TIMBER TROUBLE
, STRIKERS’ WIVES ON PICKET DUTY. Sydney, February 28. The timber workers’ wives decided that they would engage in picket duty on the day the secret ballot on the timber strike was being held. The wives’ meeting also decided in favour of a mass demonstration against the Lukin award next Wednesday. The meeting passed a resolution of sympathy with the two Melbourne women who were fined for assaulting a constable, and condemned the “injustice they received at the hands of the bosses’ Courts.” PROPOSED EXTENSION OF STRIKE.
