Death of Indian Mutiny veteran Mr Debtman at Owen
Our Alma correspondent reports the death of Mr. Debtman on Monday December 11 at his Owen residence. A cheerful, observant man who claimed to be Owen’s oldest resident, he recalled early district life, road changes, and kangaroo hunts. He described his service with the Railway and memories of the Harkness and Hall families. He spoke of the Indian Mutiny as a “picnic” compared with later wars, recalled a bayonet assault, and showed a scar. He remained active in reading and social talk, enjoying his glass, until a swift decline ended his life.

Faults of compulsory arbitration in Australian labor
A historical critique argues that compulsory arbitration failed to curb unrest and caused wage inflation. It cites £10,248,995 lost through strikes from 1912 to 1920, asserts wage gains did not translate into buying power, and notes real wages declined despite higher nominal pay. The analysis links wages to cost of production and argues wage inflation driven by arbitration harmed living standards.
