RESTRICTIONS ENDED
ELECTRICITY IN SYDNEY
IDLE STAFFS RESUME
SYDNEY, Oct. 20. All restrictions on the use of electricity in Sydney have been lifted and shops, offices and private homes may now use lights and electrical appliances as before rationing was imposed. Coal went to Bunnerong yesterday for the first time in nine days. Not all the Sydney industries were able to resume yesterday because the employers had no opportunity of advising their employees to report, but where sufficient labour was available production was recommenced.
Thousands of employees who had been laid off during the strike arrived for work, but thousands of others did not turn up. All workers displaced by rationing are expected to be back at work by Monday. There are now fears that rationing may soon have to be re-introduced, this time including gas restrictions in order that the badly-depleted coal stocks may be built up before the miners take their two weeks’ Christmas holidays.
