UNFAIR COMPETITION
AGAINST AUSTRALIAN STEEL INTERESTS. FROM CONTINENTAL FIRMS. SUPPORT FROM BRITAIN. (Received Dee. 9, 3.40 p.in.) . LONDON, Dec. 9. The iron and steel wire manufacturers association states that tlie British manufacturers greatly sympathise with tho Australian steel interests in endeavoring to protect themselves against tho grossly unfair competition from the Continent, based’on tho level of wages which are little more, than half those ruling in Britain laud the almost unrestricted working hours. The association suggests that an import duty might be fmposed on Continental material, reflecting a relation between the labor conditions on the Continent and Australia. The British manufacturers would cordially welcome any proposals for co-opcration with Australian manufacturers as they recognise that Australia’s policy is that local makers shall have the first consideration. The British can only expect to handle the surplus, which the local works cannot undertake.
