Plight of Wheat Industry Heard in Court
In Melbourne the Arbitration Court heard testimony on the wheat industry's plight amid the basic wage restoration case. Roland Coates Tilt of Wheat growers' Corporation warned eastern growers hold grain awaiting higher prices while western and southern states benefit from freight advantages. He cited proposed bulk landing as saving about threepence a bushel, noting government inquiries support the method. Albert Doha Ring, director, said current wheat prices are near the 100 year low, with prospects for recovery depending on world demand and exchange rates. The assembly discussed production costs, farmer margins, and price impacts across Australia.
