Firemen's Strike Held in Sydney Dispute Edges to Commission
The Industrial Commission reserved decision on an application to show cause why the firemen should not be dealt with for an illegal strike. Counsel for the Fire Commission argued the strike was an open war on the Commission and the Board. Baker for the union said fines would not solve the dispute and noted union efforts to keep fires attended and protect the public. He cited grievances over annual leave as part of the dispute.
