A fragmented report notes unions pushing for a January holiday for retail butchering, with arbitration discussions and employer reluctance. The Queenland area branch secretary and union officials clarified actions after the federation asked for a holiday alignment, while negotiations continued. The piece hints at broader economic tensions and a forthcoming financial meeting in Canberra.

A chaotic account describes an inquest into a New Farm incident with mentions of various people including a constable and a doctor.

City officials and Brisbane Tramways Union secretary W Richardson push for Westinghouse air brakes on heavier tramcars. Union employees back the move, hoping it will reduce accidents and bring Brisbane in line with other capitals.
