Notes

  • Epigraph: "Associations of men for defensive purposes are justifiable - nay, praiseworthy; but combinations for aggressive action, be they strikes, lock-outs, or what note, are immoral, and contrary to nature. Help for mankind lies not in any such." (Thomas Carlyle)
  • Includes an introduction and epilogue outlining Australia's industrial and political state before, during and after 'The Maritime Strike', and 'The Queensland Shearers' War'. This short novel is an account of "the temporary industrial strangulation of Australia" in the late 1800s, based in Melbourne.
