Attitude of Tub Alp on Recruiting Campaign
Questioned on Monday the secretary Mr A McCallum stated the attitude of the Australian Labor Federation was essentially a move next. The state executive had endorsed the report on the Governor General and awaited state action on recruiting matters raised at the conference. The New South Wales government already moved to re register unions while the Commonwealth would act on fines remission. McCallum cited grievances over preference for National Volunteers over Fremantle and Perth dock laborers and wheat stock players striking for higher wages. Acting Premier Celebateh said consideration was ongoing and fines under the War Precautions Act might be remitted for certain breaches.
