Trouble erupts in the Rockchoppers Union over a rackarack incident at the Willoughby drainage scheme. A member refused to work with a man using rackareek, unions fined the worker, and a union meeting at Trades Hall ordered removal of the man and threatened a mass walkout of nearly 200 men if demands aren’t met. The Sydney Labor Council weighs action under the Industrial Disputes Act as North Sydney work continues slowly with nonunion labor. The dispute tests relations with Water and Sewerage Board and signals broader tensions among local unions and council leaders.
