Pig-Iron Dispute Extended
(Received 9 a.m.)
SYDNEY, December 14
The dispute over the loading of pigiron for the Far East is gradually extending. Railway shunters are now refusing to handle trucks containing pig iron at waterside ports. No call for the men to load the steamers Nellore and Taiping was made today, and the former vessel sailed for Shanghai and Japan without her pigiron cargo.
The executive of the Waterside Workers’ Federation is particularly anxious to prevent the licensing system being introduced in New South Wales courts, and a conference of union leaders is to he convened to try to find a way out of the dispute. ♦
