PIG IRON FOR JAPAN
HOLD-UP BY SYDNEY WATERSIDERS United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright (Received December 4, 12.5 a.m.) SYDNEY, December 4. Delegates from seventeen unions at a meeting at Wooliongong, decided to support the waterside workers ban on loading pig-iron on the steamer Dalfram. They will defy the Federal Government’s threat to impose a licensing scheme at Port Kembla. The crew of the Dalfran assured the meeting that they would refuse to take the vessel to sea if the iron were loaded. The meeting decided that if non-s unionists were employed to load pigiron on any vessels, those vessels would be refused repairs in all Australian dockyards.
