GOVERNMENT WILL REGISTER ALL WORKERS.
CANBERRA, September 25. The Federal Government is gazetting regulations under the Transport Workers Act immediately. Under the regulations all men seeking employment on the waterfront will be compelled to register. If they obtain work and fail to carry out any conditions of registration, the registration will be cancelled, and they will not then be able to secure employment on the waterfront. The Government maintains that ; if it allows the. strikers to return to work on the old conditions, there will be no guarantee that they will remain at work, or that chaotic conditions in industry. will be ended. The Government has guaranteed all volunteers full protection during the strike, and continued employment and protection after the strike is over. The main idea behind the Government’s action is to bring about a condition of stability in the maritime industry, as if the Act is applied generally to all the watersiders, in the event of a future strike it will have gone a long way towards solving the waterside industrial problem.—Australian Press Association.
