Relief measures halted over miners black ban threats
The government plans to stop food relief unless all black ban resolutions are lifted across northern coal fields. Prime Minister Bavin cites public hardship from the embargo on premises, hotels, and even ministers, and warns actions against lodge members and associations will follow if bans persist. The piece notes militant Communist influence but urges the moderate miners to act to end the suffering. Also mentions a Motor Show anecdote about a salesman and modern family roles.
