The secretary of the State War Council (Mr. Victor Ryan) had visited the 19 local committees concerned, and he reported that they were taking up the matter enthusiastically, and big meetings were expected. Tradesmen agreed to close their premises while the meetings were being held. The flour and chaff mills and the wheat agents had promised to suspend operations so as to give the employees an opportunity of attending the meetings. Evening meetings would be held at Port Pirie and Laura on Tuesday, and at Wallaroo and Moonta on Wednesday, and day meetings as follows: Tuesday: Owen, Balaklava, Brinkworth, Georgetown, Gladstone. Wednesday: Crystal Brook, Gulnare, Snowtown, Bute, Kadina. Thursday: Wallaroo Mines, Paskeville, Port Wakefield, Hamley Bridge, Gawler.
