Camtwell Farm Changes and Labor Strikes Hit Cantwell District
The Townsville Star reports W. Clack Kennedy buys J. Hall’s Meine Trees farm four miles from Cantwell and plans to reside there with his wife. Labor shortages across the district push farmers to extreme measures as workers demand high wages, with men earning five to over a pound per day and showing capitalist aspirations amid scarce labor. The note recalls a Canadian whaler tale and a whale capture incident involving a steamer, a cow, and a submerged struggle, reflecting broader economic tensions.
