Brisbane is Without Bread
MASTER BAKERS STOP SUPPLIES AND DEMAND PRICE INCREASE
Received Thursday, 8.30 p.m. BRISBANE, April 19. Brisbane is without bread and all Queensland bakers are preparing for a State-wide cessation of breadmaking. An order by the Prime Minister (Mr. Curtin) that baking should be resumed has been defied and 60 Brisbane master bakers have been served with summonses. The bakers are demanding an increase in the price of bread.
A city cafe proprietor who saw an elderly woman faint in a bread queue baked 600 loaves for distribution to old-age pensioners. Carters delivering the bread complain that they cannot leave their trucks as the women steal the loaves in their absence.
