UNION BATTLE
COMMUNIST ISSUE EXECUTIVE’S RETORT CLERKS CIRCULARISED SYDNEY, Jan. 30. The struggle in the Clerks’ Union against what a number of. members claim to be a Communist dictatoiship is carried a step further with the posting to New South Wales members of a ballot-paper asking them to vote on three questions. Members opposed to the regime of the present executive maintain that the ballot was designed to confuse the issues, and to counter the rising .tide of dissatisfaction. The first question, which consists of over ICO words, enunciates the principle that the union is non-sectarian and non-political. . The second relates to attempts by employers to compel clerks to perform labouring or nonclerical duties. The third refers in a roundabout way to the demand for an extraordinary election. Insurgent members of the union have reacted very positively to the challenge.
