DECISION TO DEFY GOVERNMENT
AUSTRALIAN UNIONS BAN ON LOADING OF PIG-IRON SYDNEY, Dec. 5. Delegates from 17 unions meeting at Wooliongong decided to support the waterside workers’ ban on the loading of pig-iron on tne steamer Dalfram and to defy the Federal Government s threat to impose the licensing scheme at Port Kembla. The crew of the Dalfram assured the meeting that they would refuse to take the vessel to sea if the iron were loaded.
The meeting decided that if nonunionists were emploeed to load pigiron on any vessels, those vessels would be refused repairs in all Australian dockyards.
