LABOUR TROUBLES
Newcastle Strikers Resume STOPPAGE AT BROKEN HILL (Received 19, 10.45 a.m.) SYDNEY, March 19. The employeer of Lysaghts galvanised ironworks at Newcastle decided to resume work to-day. Mr. Justice Cantor met representatives of the parties, whom he informed that until the strikers resumed and gave assurances of honouring the undertaking already given the Industrial Commission would not investigate their claims. The Federated Ironworkers’ Association has been summoned to show cause why it should not be deregistered on the ground that its members were engaged in an illegal strike. Work ceases at Broken Hill to-mor-row and a mass meeting has been arranged to emphasise the protest against the non-payment of benefits to certain beneficial les of men who died of pneumoconiosis. The Government is continuing payments in necessitous cases as an act of grace, but the principle of payment is under consideration because a number of cases were discovered where benefits were not warranted under the Workers’ Compensation Act.
