Metal case flow-on urged by union in Victoria
In Melbourne on Tuesday about 45000 hospital workers will seek immediate pay rises as a flow-on from yesterday's metal trades award by the Commonwealth Arbitration Commission. The Victorian No 1 branch of the Hospital Employees Federation says four state wages boards should set new pay rates for nurses, benevolent homes, mothercraft nurses and ambulance services. Union officials expect other unions to follow within a week.

ACTU MET SYDNEY MEET ON METAL TRADER AWARD CLASH
ACTU and metal trades employers in Sydney split camps over the new award carrying a 250 000 metal worker uplift. Intermittent meetings set plans to resist absorption of rises while unions denounce government ministers and press for the commission to rule the wage uplift intact. A separate High Court appeal ruling due tomorrow on basic wage margins heightens tensions as leaders prepare for resumed talks.

Devaluation Split P M Rebuffs McEwen in Public
The Prime Minister rebuked Liberal colleague McEwen for releasing a devaluation statement. He stressed Cabinet unity on November 20 when Australia decided not to devalue the dollar. The PM noted McEwen was abroad at GATT talks and lacked full details of the economic impact.
Prime Minister addresses points after McEwen in party statement
Mr Holt answered mainly the points raised by Mr McEwen in his statement and noted it was not a joint message. He did not back the idea of an advisory authority on compensation to assess British damage to Australian industry. He said outcomes of current industry inquiries would guide Cabinet on possible machinery.
