PIG IRON DISPUTE
DEADLOCK CONTINUES WATERSIDE WORKERS REJECT TERMS (U.PA.—B.v Electric Telegraph—Copyright) SYDNEY, 17th January. Following a marathon and stormy debate, the Port Kembla waterside workers decided to-day at Wollongong to reject the proposed terms of settlement as a result of which the steamer Dalfram will not be loaded with pig iron and the strike on the local waterfront will continue, involving hundreds of others employed in large industries, including the steelworks at Port Kembla. The terms for a settlement of the strike provided that the waterside workers should load 7000 tons cf pig iron aboard the Dalfram conditionally on the Government’s withdrawing the licences for wharf labourers and on future discussion with the Government upon the question of policy involved ir the shipment of war materials for foreign countries. The main objections to the terms by the strikers arose from the fear that a number of men probably would be victimized by the steelworks employers, as well as by the owners of the Dalfram.
