MORE TROUBLE FOR N.S.W. ANOTHER UPHEAVAL THREATENED. RAILWAYMEN PROMISE DRASTIC ACTION. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received March 1, 10.20 a.m. SYDNEY, March 1. Another industrial upheaval is threatening. The railwaymen are incensed at the Commissioners’ proposal to impose a week of 48 hours, and speakers at a mass meeting held to-day promised drastic action if any attempt were made to alter the present position. TIMBER STRIKE. RENTSUNPAID. Received March 1, 11.5 a.m. SYDNEY, March 1. It is stated that no rents have been paid by the timber workers since the commencement of the dispute, and unless the strikers are compensated for lost time when the strike is over there will be none paid. The procedure followed is that when a timber worker notifies that his landlord is asking for a settlement the Disputes Committee has the house watched by pickets and the presence of these persons prevents the landlords taking further steps.
