ROCKET RANGE IN AUSTRALIA OPPOSED BY BUILDING UNIONS
ADELAIDE, May 21. Despite vigorous opposition from the majority of the shades of political ooinion, the South Australian Building Trades’ Federation has followed the lead of the Melbourne body in recommending to all affiliated unions that a ban should be placed upon the construction of the rocket range. A meeting last night also endorsed a report from the vigilance committee of the federation recommending to the Australasian Council of Trade T Inions the calling of an Australiawide conference of building workers to determine the police on the construction of the range. The Building Trades’ Federation in South Australia comprises the Plasterers’ Societv, the Building Workers’ Industrial Union and the builders’, labourers, painters’, plumbers’, boilermakers’ and blacksmiths’ unions. The secretary of the federation said that the delegates expressed the opinion that to go ahead with the range was a sign of lack of faith in the United Nations.
