Daily 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' ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
