PREFERENCE TO UNIONISTS.
MR. FLOWERS AND THE MUSICIANS' UNION.
ALLEGED BREACH BY THE CHIEF SECRETARY.
PROPOSED LEG AL PROCEEDINGS.
Sydney. Thursday.
The Chief Secretary (Mr. Flowers), who is an honorary official of the New South Wales Rugby League, is alleged to have been implicated in a breach of one of the clauses of the wages board award. It is stated that a non-union brass band was engaged by the league. This is regarded by the Musicians' Union as a breach of the preference to unionists clause of the award. The matter will be brought before the Labor Council meeting tonight, when delegates from the Musicians' Union will ask members of affiliated unions not to patronise football matches unless the bandsmen engaged are unionists. It is the further intention of the Musicians' Union to take legal proceedings against' the Chief Secretary and Mr. J. Joynton Smith, M.L.C., who is also an officer of the league, in order to enforce the preference provision.
