EXPANDING STRIKE.
SYDNEY DISSATISFACTION. SYDNEY, Sept. 24. There are now 1400 men idle as a result of the fellmongery strike. The wool and basil workers ceased operations on Friday. Eight hundred are on strike and 600 were dismissed as a result. An early’ settlement of the trouble seems unlikely’, and the trouble may involve the butchers’, tanners’, storemen’s, packers’ and road transport unions. The Chamber of Manufacturers passed the following resolution: “After clearing up the work in hand the best course, would be to close the works.” In order to prevent the spread of disorganisation slaughtering will be continued in the meantime. The State Government is powerless, as the dispute affects a Federal award, but in view of the fact that thousands of State workers are affected by the extension of the trouble the Minister of Labour is watching events closely.
