MR. CURTIN’S REBUKE
Move By Trade Union
Secretaries
CANBERRA, November 15. The Prime Minister, Mr. Curtin, has asked the union secretaries, who approached him this week to take their proposals for unity in the war drive to the Federal Labour Party executive. He indicated that the request seemed superfluous in all the surrounding circumstances, and reminded Labour loaders and ofllcials that he had expected unity in the Labour movement the moment his Government accepted office. Embodied in the letter which Mr. Curtin received from the unions were suggestions for the removal of private interests from controlling positions on the boards directing the war effort, greater powers for workers in factory administration, investigation of monopolies, restriction of profits, and maintenance of living standards.
