HISTORY
1948 High Handed Action By Ftle. Tram Board. Docks, Rivers and Harbors Union is incensed at the highhanded attitude of the Fremantle Tramways and Electric Lighting Board in refusing to receive a deputation from that Union and from the Fremantle Branch of the Carpenters' Union to protest against the tram fares rise. The Board secretary had informed him that they would only see the deputation from the ALP Council, Docks secretary P. L. Troy told the Star. ...The Fremantle Prices Protest Committee has collected over 1,500 signatures on their protest petition. Their request to the Board to receive a deputation from the Committee has been refused. The ALP Council's deputation included delegates from the Lumpers' Union. Two of the members of the delegation are also members of the East Fremantle Municipal Council, Messrs N. McKenzie (Lumpers' Union secretary) and Mr. W. Glasson. (reference)
1949 Not "Black": The secretary of the Fremantle Lumpers' Union (Mr. N. McKenzie) said yesterday that as a result of an assurance that all cargo to be loaded into the Dutch steamer Maetsuycker (due at Fremantle next week) was destined for Malaya, there would be no move by his organisation to prevent normal loading of the ship. The question had arisen because of the ban by the Waterside Workers' Federation on Dutch ships with cargo for Indonesia. (reference)
