RATIONING FAVOURED BY SYDNEY WORKERS.
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) SYDNEY, January 1. The “Sydney Morning Herald” states that the shop assistants in a number of large establishments have intimated that they are prepared to continue rationing rather than face dismissal, which they realise ithe Government’s latest decision must mean for large numbers. Secret ballots, which were held in two big city stores, resulted overwhelmingly in favour of rationing. In one case, a union official appeared during the progress of the balloting and protested. lie was immediately ordered off the premises. Subsequently he thus explained the grounds of his 1 protest: “Although the entire staff has been asked to decide whether they favour the present system of rationing, only one-third of the employees have been rationed. It is unfair to hold a ballot among those not affected by rationing.”
