INSIDE INFORMATION,
DRAGOONED .STRIKERS.
(Australian Press Association.) (Received 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day.
The “Sydney ' Morning Herald” published a statement by a timber worker, whose name is withheld, in which he declares that the majority of the strikers are on strike against their will; that union meetings arc dominated by a Communist coterie, whose aim is the destruction of legitimate unionism and the creation of misery. He says no courage is needed t'o go on strike; the real test is the preparedness, of a man to act according to his convictions and refuse to be’ terrorised by Trades Hall conspirators, who receive their orders from a foreign country.
