AUSTRALIAN STRIKE
NEGOTIATIONS: WARNING BY T.U.C.
Sydney, Feb. 13.
The Australian miners' Communist president, Mr Idris Williams, declared tonight that a strike settlement, “which was in sight,” had been made more difficult by an Australian Trade Union Con- gress warning of the dangers of “Communist con- spiracy."
The Trade Union Council, in uttering this warning, emphasised that there was "industrial merit” in the claims of both the miners and the striking dockers, and did not describe either strike as Communist-inspired.
Executives
of the Minere Union and the Australian Trade Union Congress will meet to-
