Wastage of Siri and Coal Trade Loss in 1910
The article notes 1910 industrial disputes affecting 19,600 Australian workers across 1,760 unions, causing wide wage loss and major trade disruption. NSW commissioner J. B. Suttor estimates Australia’s missed coal trade with China, the Straits Settlements, India, Java and Siam at about £1,000,000, due to strikes and unreliable supply. The NSW coal is superior, but strikes undermine its market delivery.
