A bread war is on in Sydney. A number of operatives who have been unable to find employment owing to the depression have commenced baking on their own account, and as they are working long hours and not bound, like the master bakers, to union rates and conditions, are able to undersell the regular bakeries. Bread in some parts is being retailed at 3d per loaf. An offer was made to the Wellington Acclimatisation Society by an opossum trapper of a method of killing deer without harming opossums or native birds. One man, he said, could carry enough of it ’ to kill 1000 deer. The exact method of destruction was not mentioned, as the writer had in view patent rights. The letter was referred to the ranger for investigation.
