In Brisbane on November 12 the Arbitration Court heard the Australian Railway Union seek a weekly wage rise to £4 5s with overtime rates of time and a half for the first four hours and double time thereafter.

The case awaits further consideration with potential data requests to compare interstate practices.

Racing Inquiry Brisbanes Commission Calls For Reforms

The racing commission resumed hearings with Robert Park urging government control of Doomben race course and closure of Albion Park. He proposed leasing to a bona fide amateur club, denying compensation to owners, and removing security of tenure for racing dates. George Pritchard Farrell described disputes with Kedron Park over prize money and alleged dishonest practices. He urged a separate Board of Control for unregistered racing with government nominees and club representation, plus fixed racing dates and a clear appeals process.
