Michele Matthews Collection: PHD Research - Relief during the great depression This item includes the following documents: 8672.71a The document is a formal letter dated 26 April 1934 from the Public Assistance Committee to the Officer in Charge of the Sustenance Branch, Department of Labour, Melbourne. The letter responds to an earlier communication dated 23 April (reference B102). After considering the request, the Committee states that it sees no benefit in granting special recognition to any particular organisation, specifically mentioning the Bennigoe (or similarly spelled) Act as Counsel for men working on sustenance who have grievances. The Committee believes that establishing or recognising such a body is unnecessary. The Committee explains that grievances raised by men employed on sustenance have been resolved satisfactorily in the past without the need for a tribunal or any formally recognised representative body. As a result, it concludes that existing methods of handling complaints are adequate and that no additional mechanism should be introduced.

Michele Matthews Collection: PHD Research - Relief during the great depression This item includes the following documents: 8672.66a The document consists of two letters from the Victorian Department of Labour, Sustenance Branch, dated 23 March 1934, concerning the handling of unemployment grievances in Bendigo and the government's approach to investigating complaints. The first letter is addressed to the Secretary of the Public Assistance Committee in Bendigo. It explains that the Minister has enclosed a copy of correspondence received from the Unemployed Ratepayers' and Citizens' Association. While the government has decided to rely on the Trades Hall in Melbourne to represent workers' grievances, the Minister recognises that Bendigo's circumstances may require separate consideration. Rather than relying solely on reports from Melbourne, the Minister requests firsthand information from local representatives so that any decision regarding Bendigo is based on direct knowledge of local conditions. The second letter is addressed to F. C. Sweeney of Bendigo and acknowledges receipt of his correspondence. It begins by correcting what the Minister describes as a misunderstanding arising from a newspaper report, stating that there was never any intention to allow delegates to present complaints directly before the Central Unemployed Committee. Instead, complaints from workers in metropolitan areas are to be channelled through the Trades Hall Council, which will act as an intermediary rather than as a tribunal or decision-making body. The Council's role is to gather and present the facts to the Department, while the Minister retains responsibility for making the final decision. The letter also explains that, although the Minister intends to recognise a single representative organisation in Melbourne, the question of recognising organisations in provincial and country districts, including Bendigo, has not yet been settled and requires further consideration. It notes that Bendigo's local Trades Hall Council is closely affiliated with the Melbourne body, but emphasises that local arrangements are still under review.bendigo, michele matthews collection, letters seeking support in bendigo during the great depression 1932 to 1934 -

... Michele Matthews Collection: PHD Research - Relief during the great depression This item includes the following documents: 8672.68a The document consists of three pieces of correspondence dated 22–29 March 1934 concerning the Unemployed Ratepayers' and Citizens' Association of Bendigo and its role in handling grievances related to sustenance (relief) work. ...Sweeney expresses the Association's general support for the government's decision to end sustenance work but objects to one aspect of the policy: workers with grievances should continue to be allowed to appoint two delegates to present complaints to the Central Unemployment Council. ...Dr Michele Matthews has been a local and social historian for nearly three decades since she first used correspondence held by the then Bendigo City Council for her Honours thesis.

Michele’s MA thesis, ‘A forgotten “Father” of Federation: Sir John Quick 1852‑1911’ (2003), and her PhD thesis, ‘Survivors, schemes, Samaritans and shareholders: the impact of the Great Depression on Bendigo and District 1925‑1935’ (2007), both drew heavily on Bendigo and district records. Michele Matthews Collection: PHD Research - Relief during the great depression This item includes the following documents: 8672.68a The document consists of three pieces of correspondence dated 22–29 March 1934 concerning the Unemployed Ratepayers' and Citizens' Association of Bendigo and its role in handling grievances related to sustenance (relief) work. The main letter, written by F.C. Sweeney, General Secretary of the Unemployed Ratepayers' and Citizens' Association, is addressed to Dr. C. Shields, Minister of Sustenance. Sweeney expresses the Association's general support for the government's decision to end sustenance work but objects to one aspect of the policy: workers with grievances should continue to be allowed to appoint two delegates to present complaints to the Central Unemployment Council. He explains that the Association, representing approximately 580 members, has successfully used this system for several years, allowing most men to continue working while only a small number of representatives handled disputes. According to Sweeney, this approach has maintained order and produced positive results. Sweeney argues that the Association has consistently worked independently of trade unions and has deliberately avoided conflict or direct industrial action. He states that the organisation's Disputes Committee has effectively resolved issues by assessing complaints carefully and referring only serious cases to the appropriate authorities. He warns that abandoning this process could encourage unrest similar to the disturbances that had recently occurred in Melbourne. The letter emphasises the Association's belief that local knowledge and practical experience make it better suited than outside organisations to judge the legitimacy of workers' complaints. The letter also stresses the Association's cooperative relationship with local officials, particularly the Bendigo City Engineer, who is said to support the Association's work and recognise its fairness. Sweeney notes that the Association has consistently supported government sustenance schemes and has sought to resolve disputes through consultation with municipal officials and the Public Assistance Committee before appealing to the Minister. He requests that the Association's Disputes Committee be allowed to continue operating under the existing arrangements. The second document is a letter dated 28 March 1934 from the Town Clerk of Bendigo to the Department of Labour's Sustenance Branch in Melbourne. The Town Clerk acknowledges receipt of departmental correspondence and requests a copy of Sweeney's letter so that the Public Assistance Committee can properly investigate the grievances and gain a complete understanding of the situation before making any decisions. The final document, dated 29 March 1934, is the Department of Labour's response to the Public Assistance Committee. The Officer in Charge confirms receipt of the Committee's request and encloses a copy of Sweeney's communication, thereby facilitating the Committee's investigation of the Bendigo sustenance dispute. This exchange illustrates the close communication between the local committee, municipal authorities, and the state government over the administration of unemployment relief and the handling of workers' complaints.bendigo, michele matthews collection, letters seeking support in bendigo during the great depression 1932 to 1934 -

... Three copies of newspaper articles relating to quarry work and employees attached to poem: information regarding Brasier, Riley and Nelson, contractors (Bendigo and District 1902); 'The Stone Quarry Grievance' (Bendigo Advertiser, 15 June, 1959, p2); 'A Restriction Upon Industry' (Bendigo Advertiser, 2 June, 1859). ...Three copies of newspaper articles relating to quarry work and employees attached to poem: information regarding Brasier, Riley and Nelson, contractors (Bendigo and District 1902); 'The Stone Quarry Grievance' (Bendigo Advertiser, 15 June, 1959, p2); 'A Restriction Upon Industry' (Bendigo Advertiser, 2 June, 1859). ...Axedale is well known for its Bluestone. Early on the quarries employed a large number of people. In the 1860’s Napthali Ingham selected land in Axedale and opened a bluestone quarry beside the river later known as Ingham Hill. The quarry produced dressed curbing and pitchers for use in Bendigo and Melbourne. This bluestone can be seen throughout Axedale in the churches, the bridge over the Campaspe River and guttering in the township. The quarry also supplied bluestone products further afield, for example road metal. Napthali Ingham, the owner of one of the first quarries in Axedale, arrived in Victoria from Lancashire, England, some time before 1860, and settled in Brunswick, Victoria. He may have been building his home in Ewen[sic] Street in 1860, at approximately 31 years of age, when he placed two advertisements in The Argus, October 10. One called for tenders for carting "upwards of 100 perches of rubbish to Sandridge." The other calls for tenders to supply "800 bushels of Geelong Roche Lime." His address, given for the purpose of the advertisements, is Ewen Street, Brunswick. There were a number of quarries and clay pits in Brunswick at this time and by July 9, 1861, Ingham was operating a quarry and contracting services to local councils and boroughs for road works, including Sydney Road. He also operated the True Briton Hotel in Ewen Street. Ingham continued his quarry works and business dealings in the Brunswick area for a few years and, around 1872, was contracting for the City of Bendigo. He eventually moved to Axedale, between Bendigo and Heathcote, where he took up land and opened a bluestone quarry on the east bank of the Campaspe River. As he had difficulty transporting bluestone to Bendigo, he wrote a letter to The Bendigo Advertiser, suggesting a tramway be laid between Sandhurst (Bendigo) and Axedale. Over the next ten years or so, he modified this suggestion to a rail line connecting Sandhurst, Axedale and Heathcote to the North East line at Seymour. This suggestion did not materialise in its entirety, but it eventually resulted in what became the Wandong, Heathcote and Sandhurst Rail Line, the first sections, Bendigo-Heathcote and Wandong-Kilmore, opening October 1, 1888. In the 1870s, Ingham built the Quarry Hotel which is now the crumbling ruins adjoining Ingham Road on the east side of the Campaspe River.. Its condition is worsening as time passes. Ingham intended to have a tramline constructed from his Axedale bluestone quarry to the new rail line. This also did not happen but he was successful in getting a wood siding provided at the location that is today's Hanson's Quarry. Evidence of the rail siding are still evident at the site in 2025. Ingham's quarry is now owned by Hansen Quarries Ingham died in 1909 and the rail line that grew out of his suggestion lasted until 1958 when it was closed from Bendigo to Heathcote. The Heathcote Junction section was closed in 1968. Another quarry was owned and operated by Brasier, Riley and Nelson. 'This well known firm of contractors have a most extensive plant and all the latest improved machinery required for the supply of kerbstone, pitchers, monumental work and dressed bluestone metal for road making. ('Bendigo & District, 1902') 1. One page typed poem, written by W.G. O'Neill, titled 'The Pitcher Dressers, (Quarrymen). The poem tells the story of three Rowan brothers who came to the Axedale Quarry: 'They came to work on Axedale stone, Big contracts came that way, As pitcher dressers they could earn, Their thirty bob a day.' 2. Three copies of newspaper articles relating to quarry work and employees attached to poem: information regarding Brasier, Riley and Nelson, contractors (Bendigo and District 1902); 'The Stone Quarry Grievance' (Bendigo Advertiser, 15 June, 1959, p2); 'A Restriction Upon Industry' (Bendigo Advertiser, 2 June, 1859). Article 'A Restriction Upon Industry" details the anomalies that exist between working the quartz reefs for gold and quarrying for building stone. The cost of obtaining a license to 'quarry stone is 50 pounds sterling which must be paid down in order to merely prospect the ground. Some people who took out a lease to work a reef were actually 'looking for building stone'. On bottom of poem, W.G. O'Neill, Bendigo.

[Extract from an occasional address by Emeritus Professor Geoffrey Blainey AO, inaugural Chancellor of the University of Ballarat, at a University Graduation Ceremony on 13 May 1994.] The University of Ballarat traces its origin to the foundation of the Ballarat School of Mines in 1870, just a decade after the building of the Ballarat Mechanics' Institute. The University is committed to keeping the candle of learning burning brightly i this city and beyond. It is fitting that the University join with the Mechanics' Institute to establish its city presence in this building.

She is an ardent advocate for the use of local history records to tell Victorian and Australian history from a grassroots perspective. Michele’s MA thesis, ‘A forgotten “Father” of Federation: Sir John Quick 1852‑1911’ (2003), and her PhD thesis, ‘Survivors, schemes, Samaritans and shareholders: the impact of the Great Depression on Bendigo and District 1925‑1935’ (2007), both drew heavily on Bendigo and district records. Michele Matthews Collection: PHD Research - Relief during the great depression This item includes the following documents: 8672.67a This document is a circular issued by the Victorian Department of Labour, Sustenance Branch, dated 27 March 1934, and addressed to Town Clerks and Shire Secretaries. It outlines the government's policy for administering the "work for sustenance" scheme under the Unemployment Relief (Administration) Act. The circular emphasises that a uniform policy should be applied across all municipalities to ensure consistent administration of relief work. The circular instructs local authorities to take a strict approach toward unemployed men participating in relief work. Men who are considered capable of working but who refuse work or fail to perform satisfactorily are to be dismissed immediately, with arrangements made to cancel their sustenance payments. This reflects the government's intention to link welfare support directly to compliance with work requirements. The document distinguishes between those who are unwilling to work and those who are physically or mentally unable to do so. Individuals deemed unfit for work are not to remain on work-for-sustenance projects. Instead, they are to receive assistance through other public assistance arrangements, with different procedures applying inside and outside metropolitan areas. Those capable only of light work are to be assigned suitable duties where available and paid at the higher sustenance rate; if no light work exists, they may remain on the lower sustenance rate. The circular also establishes clear restrictions on workers' collective activities. It states that any man employed under the work-for-sustenance scheme who participates in Stop Work Meetings will be dismissed and have his sustenance cancelled. In addition, the previous practice of granting leave for delegates to present grievances through their organisations is abolished. Any complaints or representations must instead be made outside working hours, in line with the treatment of industrial disputes. Finally, the Minister calls upon local councils to provide complete cooperation in enforcing these policies so that a reasonable level of efficiency can be maintained among men employed in return for sustenance. The circular concludes by noting that a copy has also been sent to the officer responsible for administering sustenance within each municipality, reinforcing the expectation that the policy be implemented consistently across Victoria.bendigo, michele matthews collection, letters seeking support in bendigo during the great depression 1932 to 1934 -

Historically ‘water races’ ran through the valleys of the Greater Ballarat area unearthing the minerals that forged prosperity and wealth. This water still flows today unearthing new possibilities for the community. Possibilities focusing on sustainability, ecology, health and prosperity. Flowing over the site a series of kinetic turbines flutter in the wind creating a contemporary water race. The interactive elements offer visual stimulation enticing people to connect with the artwork and in turn the surrounding spaces. Bakery Hill has great historical significance. It’s connection to the Eureka Stockade and the series of events that were to unfold during the 1850’s was to become the turning point in Australian political history. The placement of each turbine is to mirror a point of history in the timeline of events that occurred during the Eureka Stockade. The Water Race is a symbol of possibilities, the ones created by history and those of modern society. It is a visual timeline that can be read by traversing the site. The connecting turbines that flow and turn in sync are a representation of time passing and the interconnectedness of history with the community that surrounds it. The gateway to Bridge Mall is framed through the placement of each turbine allowing the sense of prosperity and wealth to flow through to the surrounding community. This gateway also references the significance of Bakery Hill reinvigorating the historical site by reconnecting it back to its town centre. The artwork is of aesthetic and historical significance to the people of BallaratTwelve steel turbines set on poles with dates attached and a large bronze 'timeline' plaqueFLOW/ Plotting the motion of Wind, Water, History and Time/ by Holly Grace and Aaron Robinson/ This site has great historical significance.
