RETAINING VOLUNTEERS
STRIKERS’ LOSS IN WAGES SYDNEY, Feb. 21. Prominent shipowners declare that the licensing system on the waterfront would ensure peace for the future. They estimate that 75 per cent, of the volunteers will be retained. The owners state: “We must stand by the men who came to our aid. Although quite a number of these men are content with having broken the strike, and are prepared and even anxious to return to their pre-strike occupations, a. large percentage of the former seamen who gave us long and faithful service are unlikely to be reemployed. Me estimate the strikers lost at least £120.000 in wages.”
