DAY BAKING
A NEW SOUTH WALES DISPUTE,
CriiOß OCR OWN cqitRESVOXDEKT.) .4 SYDNEY. 18th April. There is a prospect of serious interruption in the supply of our daily bread. The operative bakers ■ have, given notice '.'to the employers in the various States that as from'6th May. they will refuse to do any night work, but will make bread in the day time only The employers have announced . determined resistance to this demand, and believe that they have behind them the support,of a majority of the public, which already complains very, much about having to take' an inordinate amount of stale bread on account of baking being suspended on numerous special trade holidays as well as the remarkable number of public holidays in the Australian year. Both sides are preparing for a big fight, and prudent housewives are planning the laying in of stocks of flour and are collecting stocks of baking reci.pes.. As a sort of preamble there is a strike of pastrycooks in Sydney over a matter of holidays not allowed them in the industrial award under which they are supposed to be working. The Sydney bread bakers also threaten to go on strike over alleged- grievances apart -from the big question of day baking.
