GENERAL STRIKE

Australian Feeling 1 UNION OFFICIALS UNDECIDED. (Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn). SYDNEY, September 15. About five hundred union officials and shop delegates met at the Town Hall, to-night, and discussed the question of precipitating an Australia-wide strike, but no such decision was reached, believed, it is due, to the adverse feeling on the coalfields, and the lack of unanimity in other States. The meeting, which excluded the press, carried a resolution recommending the Australian Council of Trades Unions’ Conference, which is meeting at Melbourne shortly, to set up a strike committee, which will also be charged with the duty of consolidating the trade union movement, combating wage reductions and lowering working standards.
