Threat to close Broken Hill mines
In Broken Hill the Federated Engine Drivers and Firemen's Association warned that if any member is sent home both Zinc Corporation and New Broken Hill Consolidated mines would close. The dispute over the lead bonus has spread to the AEU and FEDPA, with workers reducing ore production after a court ruled the allowance should be discontinued. About 2,000 of 4,500 regional workers are affected and the firm reported declines in normal output.
