A call to united action amid long running strikes urges workers to stand firm like Newcastle iron workers. It cites Denmark and global labor fights showing gains from persistent resistance and warns bosses will exploit delays if workers retreat.
The New South Wales Grakierx Association executive voted to thank the Farmers and Settlers’ Association and to have it seek immediate help from country branches to obtain shearers and volunteers for shearing work. The letter argues squatters push for low wages and warns of looming crop risks if farmers cannot recruit labor, urging a solid united stand against wage reductions and the fight ahead.
A forged letter purportedly from the Graziers Association urged members to accept lower award rates. The forgery triggered a £1000 reward offered by the Croziers' Association for information leading to conviction. The piece argues unions, labor, and machine modernisation shape unemployment risks and calls for a unified industrial union to defend workers.
The secretary of the Grasiers' Association argues that industry prosperity should not justify lower wages for shearers and pastoral workers. He contends greeds-driven wage cutting by big pastoralists harms workers, aided by unemployment and a sympathetic arbitration judge.
A penned critique argues unemployment and starvation drive workers to unions yet questions their effectiveness. The piece cites Taft and laments unions as fading, warning today’s organizations fail to meet workers' needs while implying a broader social critique.
