Timber-Cutters' Position At Dubbo Meeting
At the Dubbo timber-cutters meeting Mr Thee Thrower notes the Attorney General's refusal to add the union to the trades dispute schedule. This blocks a wages board and makes striking or discussing a strike risky under a 12 month penalty. They plan petitions and seek registrar action in northern districts. The group cites strains in Gilgandra over square cleeper prices and calls for direct Railway and Public Works Department employment. The talk of a planned bout between Bill Lang and Bill Squires adds a speculative distraction.
