THREATENED TROUBLE IN INDUSTRY
SYDNEY, December 12.
The Government, as well as the unions, would have to play a part in the efforts to prevent the threatened upheaval in the coal industry, declared a statement issued by the New South Wales Labour Council today. The statement followed a conference called by the council at which key transport and heavy industries, miners, and the Australian Council of Trades Unions were represented. The president of the Labour Council, Mr G. Anderson, said the trades union movement was greatly concerned at the drift in the coal industry. Unless it was arrested, the present drift could only lead to a breakdown in the relations between the Government and miners and in industry generally. To prevent this, Labour Council officials were doing everything possible, but the Government also had its part to play. The unions hoped for results from a conference called for next week by the Australian Council of Trades Unions.
