Telegraphic report from Brisbane says firemen aboard the steamer Aramac struck on Saturday causing cancellation of the vessel’s noontime departure for Cairns.

In public service news rail workers in the north face retrenchment orders closing down construction camps. About 2,000 railway men are affected with most workshops paused. 41 temporary bands and 110 permanent workers dismissed.
