Second Edition INDUSTRIAL UNREST.
THE SUGAR STRIKE
By Electric Telfegraph.—Copyright United Press’ Association. (Received 21, 9.5 a.in.) Melbourne, July 21.
Steamship owners will consider the position which has arisen in connection with the sugar strike next week. It is considered unnecessary to take immediate action, as a large quantity of sugar is lying in Queensland ports still to be shipped. There is much comment on Mr Hughes’ attitude. It is argued that he should either resign the AttorneyGeneralship or presidency of the Waterside Workers’ Federation.
Mr Hughes claims that the Federation is not a contravention of the Federal Arbitration Act. It was not a strike; and, anyhow, the Arbitration Court had jurisdiction only in disputes extending beyond one State. Directly anything arose involving an industrial dispute he will resign the presidency.
