Dispute Threatens Railways As South Australian Commissioner Refuses Meeting
ADELAIDE Monday. A Commonwealth-wide railway dispute looms after South Australian Railways Commissioner C B Anderson refused a deputation from the Locomotive Enginemen Firemen and Cleaners Association. Union leaders call the reply unsatisfactory and warn of possible state and interstate strikes if the position remains. A mass meeting decided that if no progress, steps toward a state-wide regulation strike would follow. Federal officials anticipate broader action and a policy on the 10 per cent wage judgment next week.
