NEW AWARD BETTER
MEN KEPT IN IGNORANCE ' SHIPOWNERS' STATEMENT United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. . (Received 14th September, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. A statement issued by the Oversea Shipping Representatives' Association states that the waterside workers aro being deliberately kept in ignorance of the advantages gained by the now award. If they understood tho truo facts the strike would collapse like-a house of cards. The shipowners, in their statement, declaro that the new award really gives higher wages, better hours, and easier working conditions to the waterside workers. "The fact is, that they do not like tho idea of the new award making away with the cherished system by which every branch in every port had enforced its own conditions through some new domestic rule designed to override or supersede some award condition obnoxious to them."
