PREMIER INSISTS ON SUPPLY
LABOUR SECRETARY'S DICTUM.
BRISBANE, 26th October. The Strikers' Committee interviewed the Premier regarding the dispute, including the Gladstone trouble. Though the result has not been disclosed, it is believed that the strikers were made to realise that coal must be supplied to steamers' refrigerators, particularly in view of the fanners' attitude at Gladstone.
Speaking at an open-air meeting, the acting State secretary of the Australian Seamen's Union declared that if the Strike Committee thought they could win the fight by refusing coal and sacrificing a few thousand tons of cargo they would refuse the coal. It was tho duly of the working classes to take advantage of every opportunity.
