Tarpaulins shortages cripple wheat shipments in Western Australia
The piece reports ongoing tarpaulin shortages for wheat transport in Western Australia. Railways under Mr. Janes Mitchell failed to supply adequate coverings, causing rain-damaged wheat and 40 000 bags re-handled or reconditioned at Fremantle. The article criticizes Mitchell as indifferent to farmer losses and calls for railway and state implement reforms.
