UNITED LABOR
AMALGAMATION IN THE AIR
ROLL-CALL OF 100,000.
A ■ ■ SYDNEY, Jan. 16. Amalgamation appears to be in the industrial air at present. Besides the inter-State consolidation of the bushworkers and State unification of the laborers unions, a proposal is afoot to form an inter-State Federation of the building trade organisations. Clerks, shop assistants, and storemen are also contemplating amalgamation.
The Labor paper Worker announces that if the scheme adopted by the conference of delegates is accepted by the unions amalgamation will have a roll-call of 100.000. This will mark another great advance, and the ideal of one big union embracing the workers of every calling will have been, brought appreciably nearer realisation.
