BRISBANE WITHOUT BREAD
BAKERS DEMAND INCREASE IN PRICE Brisbane, Apl. 19. Brisbane is without bread and all Queensland Bakers are preparing for 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. 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 women steal loaves in the:; absence.
