In Hot Water Again!
LANG AND THE BREAD CONTRACT
THREATENED DISMISSAL OF 500 CARTERS Received Wednesday, Midnight. ' SYDNEY, Aug. 5. The Lang Government is* now in hot water for giving the huge bread contract to Shadier’s, Ltd., (as stated in Monday’s issue). Shadier’s were relying on the master bakers supplying bread, but the latter are boycotting the sclieme, asserting that the price is unpayable. Unemployed families , are thus finding it difficult to obtain bread with dole coupons. The bread trade is so dislocated by the dispute that the master bakers have given notice of dismissal to 500 carters and scores of operatives. The matter has been mentioned in Parliament, Mr. Lang declared: “The people shall have bread!” He threatens to take action against the millers for withholding supplies of flour.
