The first issue was published on 9 December 1892, shortly after Medway Day left ''The Register''. The first number of ''The Voice'', a paper published "in the cause of humanity* and edited by Mr. J. Medway Day, was issued in Adelaide on Friday. The contents generally are of a solid character, although the heavier matter is introduced by a page of bright and chatty paragraphs, through which the personality of the writer is easily discernible. The new political force will discard the editorial "we" while it makes no claim to infallibility nor consistency which, it is stated, "as ordinarily understood is the last refuse of ignorance, bigotry, and fumbleness". There are plentiful signs that the editor has decided opinions, especially with regard to the land question, and he affirms that, in this ...

The Australian Worker
''The Australian Worker'' was a newspaper produced in Sydney, New South Wales for the Australian Workers' Union. It was published from 1890 to 1950. History The newspaper had its origin in ''The Hummer'', "Official organ of the Associated Riverina Workers", a newspaper produced in Wagga Wagga in the depths of the 1890s depression on 19 October 1891. The paper was jointly funded by the Wagga branches of the Amalgamated Shearers' Union of Australasia and the General Workers' Union, which merged in 1894 to form the Australian Workers' Union. ''The Hummer'' was the first union-owned newspaper in New South Wales (there was a privately owned pro-labor paper called ''The Shearers' Record'' published by Andrews and Taylor), and was born out of the perception that many or most mainstream newspaper proprietors and editors were sufficiently hostile to Unionism to suppress or mutilate letters and news items sympathetic to workers' rights, and to come down heavily on the side of business o ...

The Weekly 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] |

Roseworthy has a large grain storage facility consisting of both storage silos and bunkers for grain grown in the surrounding areas, and grain is now taken by road transport to Port Adelaide for export where it was once taken by rail.

The railways later served primarily to carry grain to port instead of copper, but have now been supplanted by road transport. The Roseworthy campus of the University of A ...
