Owing to the navvies and transport strikes the application for an extension of time is now being considered.
Yet when you put the unskilled men to do the navvy's work you displace the skilled navvy.
Why are the thousands of navvies excluded, seeing the disgraceful conditions in which they are housed?
There must be a large number of men who subsequently become navvies who have to do something as boys?
Is it not a fact that the very hard work is done by mechanical navvies instead of ordinary labour?
Much of this work will be unskilled navvy work.
It would mean that navvies would be required to dig trenches, and workmen to erect lines and factories, to make plant, instruments, wires and cables.
There is, moreover, little or no visual communication among them; even the navvies are apparently separate from one another while being engaged in the same task.
