STRIKES POSTPONED
40-HOUR WEEK MOVE MASS MEETINGS LATER SYDNEY, Oct. 24. The trade union movement’s proposed 24-hour strikes to draw attention to its demand for a 40-hour working week are to be postponed until after a mass demonstration in Sydney and other New South Wales centres on Sunday, December 9. This decision was reached by the New South Wales Labour Council Executive at a meeting of more than GOO representatives of the trade unions. It was decided to support the Australian Council of Trade Unions’ action in urging the Commonwealth Government to legislate for a 40-hour week. It requested that action be taken within six months of V.P.-Day.
