ACTION BY UNIONS TO CHECK STRIKES
SYDNEY, September 25.
Representatives of the miners’ lodges have endorsed unanimously the ban by the Miners’ Federation on anarchy in the union. They are prepared to support the threat by the miners’ management board to suspend or. expel members who take part in unauthorised strikes. In Melbourne the Australasian Council of Trade Unions has decided to ask unionists to volunteer to man all coastal ships if the engineers carry out their threat to strike and tie up sail shipping from next Monday. The ihter-State executive of the council made the decision after full consideration of the engineers’ case and deplored the refusal of the Institute of Mar-ine and Power Engineers to accept the decisions of the Maritime Industries Commission. The dispute originated in a demand, by the engineers for the dismissal of a ship’s fireman. The institute has since instructed its members to resign if the dispute is not.settled satisfactorily to the engineers.
