Whyalla to Benefit From Major Local Road Works
Extensive building at Whyalla plans £10,000 for roads and gardens to beautify the township. A one day strike is planned for Monday as part of a wage and condition campaign. Thousands of rail commuters face transport disruption with no suburban trains except munitions carriers from midnight tonight to midnight Monday. Rumors of a state wide stoppage persist amid unionist talk, though no official confirmation. Mr Drummond says unions seek only to curb duties done by Australian Railways Union men. Workers across metropolitan traffic and road motor branches will cease work as a demonstration of grievances.
