Cooperation urged to cut costs and merge industries
The text argues that production costs in some sectors could be materially reduced through greater cooperation between employers and employees to raise output. It notes tariffs often covered or exceeded direct wages, and that cash purchases at lower prices would benefit manufacturers and consumers. In 1929 the board urged further merging of manufacturing interests to cut economic waste, though most applicants for higher duties did not report excessive profits.
Premier weighs timber royalty cuts amid Brisbane deputations
Rival timber miller groups in Brisbane met Premier AE Moore to press for royalty reductions on pine and hardwood. One side argued a 5 percent cut and a 50 percent hardwood cut would boost trade and aid mills in low markets. The opposing group warned cuts could waste state assets and fail to lift local and interstate timber trade. Moore said he needs more information and will not approve any reduction unless trade volumes rise sufficiently.
