BY SEAMEN AND MINERS UNIONS.
Electric Xeiegrapii—Press Association Copyright. (Australia.n-N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received this day, at 12.40 p.m.) Sydney, March 22.
Information has been received, by representative people in affected industries, that in a desperate endeavour to wrest the control of industry from the hands of employers plans have been made by the Seamen’s and Miners’ Unions for a strike, which in extent will revive the 1917 upheaval. The pretext for the strike will be resistance to any attempts to reduce wages. Plans are stated to be fully prepared and reciprocal arrangements made with certain unions in New Zealand. The council of the Miners’ Union discussed the position and decided that no matter what happened nothing would alter its determination not to agree to a reduction of wages.
