OWNERS WILL NOT TOLERATE TACTICS OF COOKS’ UNION.
USE OF NON-UNION MEN WILL -INVOLVE ALL AUSTRALIAN UNIONS. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) SYDNEY. May 17. By giving the crew of the Orungal notice the shipowners have left no doubt that they intend to tie up the entire inter-State fleet as the vessels arrive at their home ports rather than tolerate longer the tactics of the Cooks’ Union. * There are now seventeen ships idle, directly and indirectly through the dispute, and 1158 men thrown out of employment. Although other unions are opposing Messrs Tudehope and Johnson in their stand against a settlement, it is recognised in union circles that should non-union labour be engaged the fight will become an issue for all the unions in Australia.—Australian Press Association.
