Card covers, xcii/286pp. Very light wear to card edges; a very good copy. One of the most important industrial disputes to affect Australia and New Zealand was the 1890 maritime strike. It was the first and largest battle in an industrial war which temporarily halted the great advances made by the labor movement in the 1880s, but at the same time led to significant improvements in working conditions through the introduction of the arbitral system of industrial relations and the early successes of the political labour movement.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. AUSTRALIANA Agriculture Sheep" Second only to the rebellion of Eureka Stockade, the great Queensland shearer's strike of 1891 was suppressed with the threat of troops with artillery and machine guns. The leaders were marched in chains for hundreds of miles and gaoled in loaded courts. This was the birth of the ALP. Many of the leaders became Members of Parliament. This is the first time the real story has been told of the machinations of the pastoralists, politicians, banksters, and like parasites in their antagonism against Australian workers."First Edition. xiv, 340 p., [24] p. of plates : ill. maps, ports. ; 22 cm. #070424 Bibliography: p.
