Wheat Port at Wallaroo Sees Dull Shipping and Strikes
At Wallaroo February 15, wheat shipping has been dull with vessels few and no arrivals yet. About 390,000 bags are stacked for shipment, with 900,000 more inland and 200,000 to be brought in. Local industry grows as smelters and phosphate works hire, unions discuss the Broken Hill Besken strike, and typhoid cases plus hospital crowding rise. A labor dispute over overtime pay on a January 1 holiday disrupts operations, causing delays and potential £40 daily losses for the company. The Police Court processed over 40 cases last port month with strict penalties.
