This is the most important reaction so far to the announcement that the wage-pegging regulations will be modified next week. A mass meeting of iron workers at Melbourne unanimously decided to return to work on Monday. The federal council of the Gas Employees' Union in Melbourne recommended that the gas workers in New South Wales and Victoria cease work next Wednesday and Thursday.
The Sydney gas companies will not ration gas this week-end. but Melbourne will have its second successive week-end of gas rationing. Volunteer staffs will work during the week-end in Sydney.
