The Herald (Adelaide)
''The Herald'' was a weekly trade union magazine published in Adelaide, South Australia between 1894 and March 1910; for the first four years titled ''The Weekly Herald''. It was succeeded by ''The Daily Herald'', which ran from 7 March 1910 to 16 June 1924. History The 1890s was a period of intense industrial unrest in Australia: squatters and shippers, manufacturers, merchants and miners had all been doing very nicely in the 1880s with exports booming, but little seemed to the shearers, labourers and sailors to be "trickling down" to them. Then around 1885 demand slackened off and with falling prices, the employers felt the need to reduce their labour force, and cut the wages of those who remained. The Maritime Labour Council (MLC) was formed in Adelaide in 1886 and the following year raised a Maritime Strike Fund of £9,600, of which various workers' unions subscribed around half. When the United Trades and Labour Council of South Australia needed money to start a workers' new ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Corporate Town Of Wallaroo
The Corporate Town of Wallaroo was a local government area in South Australia from 1874 to 1997, centred on the town of Wallaroo. History The municipality was proclaimed on 25 June 1874, following a petition from local residents that February, although there been had earlier opposition to incorporation. It consisted of five members at its creation, with two seats from each of a North Ward and South Ward and a separate position for the mayor. The first town hall had originally been the Wallaroo Institute, but had subsequently been taken over by the council for use as a town hall. This became too small for community purposes, and a new town hall was built in 1902 at a cost of £3,050. The building was completely destroyed by fire on 26 December 1917, involving substantial loss of municipal records. It was immediately rebuilt, with the new hall reopening in February 1919. Prior to the collapse of the Wallaroo and Kadina Mining Company in 1923, the Wallaroo council bought power fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
