A Month's Pay Seamen Demand Stirred by Ship OCS
Shipping circles fear for the Cooma as tug OCS is sent from Brisbane to assist the stranded vessel amid heavy swell. Officers report safety concerns and a delay in departure while extra crew are signed on. The process involves the Seamen's Union officials and local managers as nine additional hands are recruited for deck and engine room duties.

Corrigan crew refuse full month's pay delaying Coringa voyage
Tense talks broke down as Corrigan’s men demanded a full month's wages before signing on the Coringa for a Brisbane voyage. Captain Day offered 1 month pay or a 25 percent raise plus future employment, but the crew refused. The ship departed Brisbane for a distress call, then was urged to stay to assist, as talks continued with Mesars Macdonald and Hamilton.
