The Worker (Wagga) : ウィキペディア英語版
The Australian Worker

''The Australian Worker'' is a newspaper produced in Sydney, New South Wales for the Australian Workers' Union.
==History==
The paper had its origin in ''The Hummer'',〔"Hummer" was a synonym for bull-roarer, an Australian Aboriginal instrument, which may have been used as a call to assemble.〕 "Official organ of the Associated Riverina Workers", a newspaper produced in Wagga Wagga in the depths of the 1890s depression on 19 October 1891. The paper was jointly funded by the Wagga branches of the Amalgamated Shearers' Union and the General Workers' Union, founders in 1894 of the Australian Workers' Union. ''The Hummer'' was the first union-owned newspaper in New South Wales (there was a privately-owned pro-labor paper called ''The Shearers' Record'' published by Andrews and Taylor), and was born out of the perception that many or most mainstream newspaper proprietors and editors were sufficiently hostile to Unionism to suppress or mutilate letters and news items sympathetic to workers' rights, and to come down heavily on the side of business owners in any dispute. The men behind this bold move, which may have contravened the constitutions of the unions involved, were Wagga Branch officials Walter Head, Arthur Rae and J. J. Mooney. Later a share was sold to the Labor Electoral League. and the last issue 3 September 1892.
An arrangement was arrived at with a similar institution, The Worker, founded by William Lane in Brisbane in 1890, to share resources, and the resulting paper ''The Worker'', "with which is incorporated The Hummer" in Wagga, associated with ''The Worker'' in Brisbane, Queensland began in Sydney on 24 September 1892, with each company supplying half the content of each issue.
Wagga Branch continued the publication of The Worker until March, 1893, when six other N.S.W. Branches agreed to join in, and the plant was removed to either 1 Palmer Street Wooloomooloo or 217 Palmer Street, Sydney. J. A. Ross was Manager and W. Head and A. Rae performed most of the editorial work. From July 1893 the whole of the paper was printed in-house, the Queensland agreement having come to an end. J. Medway Day was brought in as editor in 1894, and around this time Ross resigned as manager and Medway Day was obliged to take on that role as well. For the 1894 general election it was decided to issue ''The Worker'' daily during the campaign, so ''The Daily Worker'' was published for three weeks commencing 2 July 1894. This proved financially disastrous; a loss being incurred of almost ₤2,000, which the annual levy of 1s. per member was insufficient to meet.
By May 1896 it was realized that strong measures were called for and in June Hector Lamond took over management. From November 1896 publication went from weekly to fortnightly, then in February, 1897 ceased altogether. Publication resumed in a reduced size on 31 August 1897, operated by the Bourke Branch of the AWU and with artwork generously provided by its Queensland counterpart. Little by little its financial position became more secure, and ''The Worker'' emerged from the depression on a sound footing. They purchased the ''Australian Workman'', which covered city workers, from its private owners.
The plant moved to Castlereagh Street, Sydney and a new double-royal flatbed press.
William Lane was appointed editor in February 1900. In 1900 they moved to 311 Kent Street, Sydney, and a Cox-duplex flat-bed rotary press, capable of printing 5000 sheets per hour was installed.
In 1900 an agreement was reached where the paper was supported by a 2/6d annual levy on all members of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, with State representation on the board. A linotype machine was purchased in 1901, enabling the paper to be expanded to 6 pages, then 8 in 1902. In that year the member levy was increased to 5s., which enabled the employment of additional literary staff and the purchase of freehold property at 129 Bathurst Street, so the business was no longer at the mercy of the landlord. A second linotype was installed in 1904. A Hoe press was installed, and the first issue came out on 13 December 1907.
H, E. Boote became editor in 1911
In 1913 the masthead changed from ''The Worker'' "An Australian Paper for Australian People" to ''The Australian Worker'' "An Australian Paper for Australian Homes". Managing editor was H. Lamond.
Its circulation peaked in 1917, when Billy Hughes was running the conscription referendum; the ''Worker'' was solidly behind the NO case.
Next move to St. Andrews Place.
Next move to Castlereagh Street, once the Protestant Hall, roughly opposite its old building. Tim Donovan retired, new Manager Bob Browne.
