Australian Workers Drift Left In Labor Pressure
An Australian Labor journalist argues that workers are shifting toward leftist unionism and away from arbitration and political action. The piece notes postwar disillusionment with arbitration, rising prices, and a push for socialisation of industry, with workers seeking self-organised action and governance by worker councils beyond Parliament. It contrasts Australian and American labor presses, questioning motives behind published positions.

Arbitration controversy and union views in Australia
The letter defends compulsory arbitration within the Australian Industrial Labor Movement. It argues that unions under the Arbitration Act safeguard workers’ rights and wage standards while distinguishing between principles and methods of arbitration. The writer, ICATES, asserts shared goals with the industrial movement, criticizes agitators, and urges improving arbitration rather than smashing it.
