DOCK ENGINEERS TO STRIKE
JUDGE’S WARNING IGNORED
(Received September 17, 8.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, September 17.
Engineers employed at the Cockatoo and Morts docks decided to strike for a month owing to a dispute concerning a special margin allowed for ship repair work. Judge Beeby, of the Federal Arbitration Court, ordered the men to return to work by Monday next, failing which he would revoke the clause in their award allowing a special margin of 3/- weekly for ship repairs. The men today ignored the judge’s threat and served fresh demands on the employers. About 240 engineers are involved.
