Geraldton Railway Strike Sparks House Debate and Local Costs
The speech by Mr. B. W. Dooley, M L A, contends the Geraldton dispute arose from living costs and local wage rates for casual railway labor. He cites Albany Bunbury comparisons, claims probationary rules and permanent posts limit, and condemns jetty based labor control while urging fair treatment and council cooperation.
