On Strike, or, Where do the Girls come in?

Synopsis

Though he had no sympathy with the unionists, he naturally came in contact with some of them, and could not help discussing the question, as nobody talked about anything else. Federation, the great hobby of the Australians, was forgotten for a time. Reginald could not see that the men who were on strike had any particular grievance, but he realised that the children were suffering on account of their fathers being out of work, and so he spent most of his time driving about in cabs loaded with fruit and food of all descriptions, which he distributed to the children about Miller’s Point and Sussex Street.
