Trade union motion seeks employees' representatives on Board of Trade
The Federated Engine Drivers and Firemen's Union moved to replace current Employees' Representatives on the Board of Trade with genuine employees' representatives chosen by unions. The council carried the resolution after debate, with objections about misplacing blame and a broader push for union cooperation and unemployment awareness in Australia. A Labor Party endorsement call followed for federal elections aligning with All Australian Trade Union Congress lines.

Unemployed Worker Sees Global Labor Struggle and Wages
A former Sydney worker recounts long unemployment, wages drops for cane cutters in Northern Queensland, and exploitation of Italian migrants. He argues workers should unite with the Labor Party under the All-Australian Trade Union Congress and critiques the 1911 to 1921 wage and hour data showing higher nominal wages but lower real purchasing power, while capitalists gain a larger share of profits.
