AUSTRALIAN UNIONS
ATTACK GOVERNMENT
Criticism Follows Awarding
Contracts to u. S.

Melbourne, Australia. Discovery
that the Australian government had
placed orders in the United States for
the building Of IA wooden sailing ships.
has aroused the trade unionists to at
tack the government The criticism
Is intensified by the charge that the
government has been shipping Austrai-
ian lumber to American yards for the
construction Of the vessels.
The premier, William NJ. Hughes, is
accused of having broken faith with
the Australian ship rights by giving
the American workmen the contracts
instead of having the vessels built here.
Mr.. Hughes replied by saying that
the ships were ordered from the United
States TO meet the critical situation
and that with the CO. operation of Aus
tralian workmen, the government was
ready to engage in ship building in
Australian. He said that the last in
formation from 1.-The United States was
that the construction of the IA vessels
was being expedited.
Commenting upon the affair. w. A.
Brown, secretary of the Port Philip
Ship Wrights society, said:
1T seems disgraceful that, while Mr..
Hughes has been agitating for ship
building in Australia, Australian
tradesmen should have been so hood
wnked in regard to the scheme and
that vessels are to be built in America
instead of Australia, especially when
timber has to be sent from here for
the purpose"
