CONTROL OF INDUSTRY
WORKERS’ PREPARATIONS. A GREAT STRIKE PLANNED. SEAMEN AND MINERS COMBINE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, March ,22. Information has been received by representative people in the affected industries that in a desperate endeavour to wrest control of industry from the hands of the employers, plans nave been made by the Seamen and Miners’ Unions for a strike which in extent and intensity will rival the 1917 upheaval. The pretext for this will be resistance to any attempt to reduce wages. The plans are stated to be fully prepared, and it is said that reciprocal agreements have been made with certain unions in New Zealand. The council of the Miners’ Union discussed the position, and that, no matter what happened, nothing would alter their determination not to agree to a reduction of wages.
