Back to Wages.
It is good news to hear of a relief organisation that is no longer required for relief purposes. Wollongong, centre of the New South Wales South Coast coalfields and manufacturing district, reports under date March 29: ‘‘The Wollongong Relief Society, which was formed when the depression started, has disbanded, and handed over its funds and clothing to the Wollongong Benevolent Society. In referring to the good work done by the society, Mr A. R. Bevan said that when the society was formed only 200 men were employed at the Australian Iron and Steel Company’s works. Now there are 2400. It was a pleasure to have come to a time when the conditions in the district had so improved that the society could cease operations.”
