Seamen Union Disappointed as Transport Workers Refuse Strike
In Sydney on Monday, the Seamen's Union and Miners' Organisation faced dashed hopes for a general strike. Major bodies like the Australian Railways Union refused to commit to action, though some support was discussed. A mass withdrawal of crews from union vessels in Australian waters was decided, affecting coastal and regional steamers and even tug and dredge crews. The federation plans further talks with political and labor groups to gauge broader support amid rising tensions.
