Six Hour Day procession, Sydney
(2004-02-25T05:45:46Z)
Photograph of a truck-drawn float bearing an Operative Bakers' Association banner supported by a framework. Also in the procession are two giant baker effigies and men in suits and hats. The banner's imagery includes two bakers clasping hands above a bushel of wheat. The slogan above the handclasp is: United to Assist, not to Injure. The legible writing on a placard attached to the truck's side reads: Support Day Baking, Abolish the 10 Hour Night. Another sign states that: Bread is the best Diet of All. The truck has Mason & Moat written on it. The effigies are two men dressed in white robes with enormous smiling heads crowned with bakers' caps. Onlookers can be seen behind vegetation lining the road. The street at this point is not lined by high buildings and it is possible that the photograph was taken as the parade approached the Domain.

Certificate of membership of the New South Wales Operative Bakers' Association
(2004-02-25T05:45:44Z) Buck, R., printer
A membership certificate printed in the format of a banner like those carried in Eight Hour Day processions. The imagery includes two men in white aprons and bakers' hats clasping hands above a bushel of wheat and below a slogan: United to Assist, not to Injure. At the figures' feet is depicted a ribbon with the motto: United We Stand . Divided We Fall. In the upper centre is a coat of arms between an emu and a kangaroo. The moustached baker holds a baker's paddle in his left hand while his bearded colleague carries a staff with white fabric at the end. Three interlaced eights symbolize the number of hours each of Recreation, Labour and Rest that constitute a fair working day. This message is emphasised in cameo windows that show cherubs reading, a bee hive, and a cherub reclining. Above the form part of the certificate is a scene in a bakery where different bakers' activities are depicted. This last scene is not shown on the banners in T013-32-10 and T013-32-12 (both 1913) but it is present on the somewhat different format banner in T013-32-29A (1919).

Tug of war team at an Eight Hour Day picnic
(2004-02-25T05:45:40Z) Norman Photo, photographic studio
Group portrait of ten men with a large coil of rope in an outside location featuring steps, a timber rail and large rocks. None of the men wear jackets and their braces over different types of shirt can be seen. Six wear ties, one a bow tie and two have hats. Their stance with folded arms and the rope suggests that they are a tug of war team. On the Eight Hour Day public holiday, it was part of the celebration for marchers and their families to participate in picnics, sports, entertainment and speeches after the parade. Since in the early twentieth century the procession route usually finished at the Agricultural Showground, this event probably took place somewhere in the Moore Park area.

Eight Hour Day procession float, Sydney
(2004-02-25T05:45:38Z) Photographer: Smith, F.
Photograph of a bakery float and a New South Wales Operative Bakers' Association banner float at the Royal Agricultural Society Showground amid a crowd of men who are mostly in baker uniform, some children and a few women. The showground was the usual Sydney destination for the processions until about 1920 and was where the marchers and their families would partake in sports, entertainment and speeches after the parade. Two bakers wear sash-like regalia. The one on the right looks as if he might be the Sydney Operative Bakers' Association representative, Mr D.A. McKenzie (see images T013-32-22 and T013-32-23). The float displays a tableau of a working bakery with painted brick walls and is adorned with bunches of flowers, possibly arum lilies. The imagery on the banner includes a handshake in a round window, the three eights that refer to the eight hours each of labour, rest and recreation entwined at the top centre, and a scoop of natural produce including wheat and flannel flowers above a bakery scene. There are also a number of classically garbed female figures with shields, swords and laurel wreaths who may have patriotic significance. In front of the banner is a small handcart with many different types of bread rolls attached to it.The horses hired to pull the floats are decorated with ornate harnesses, nickelled mounts, bells, fringes and ribbons. The building in the background has an ornate façade with a row of arched windows and semicircular and pillared insets into the roof.

(2004-02-25T05:45:34Z) Tesla Studios, photographic studio
A group portrait of assembled Baking Trade Employees' Federation representatives from different parts of Australia. The bakers are formally dressed for the occasion, with most wearing ties and two wearing bow ties. All except Mr Halliday wear at least one badge on usually their left lapels and a number have medallions on chains attached to their waistcoats. The photograph was probably taken in the photographer's studio. The background of leadlight windows, and heavy embroidered and fringed drapes arranged as if to frame a stage appears to have been painted. The chairs are ornately carved and that of the President, Mr Brownhill, has heraldic lions sculpted into its high back. On the carpet at the feet of the Secretary, Mr F. Hahn, and the President lies a leopard skin rug. The representatives are (from left to right), back row: R. May (Melbourne); L. Watts (Sydney); C. Dorter (Melbourne); E. Hocking (Bendigo); middle row: P. Hahn (Sydney); C. E. Ball (Adelaide); F.W. Lee (Adelaide); P.G. Halliday (Sydney); A. Sherwin (Newcastle); J. Moon (Ballarat); front row: D.A.

First Federal conference of the Operative Bakers of the Commonwealth, Melbourne Trades Hall, corner of Lygon and Victoria Streets, Melbourne
(2004-02-25T05:45:33Z) Porick E. , photographer
A group portrait of assembled Operative Bakers Association representatives from different parts of Australia. Although the Association was federated in 1914, it is possible that the organization did not hold its first conference in the year that World War l broke out. However, the first conference must have taken place before Mr C. Sumner (seated on the grass, far right) died in early 1916. In March 1914 Mr F. Hahn (standing, fifth from the left) represented the Union in the Federal Arbitration Court in Melbourne in an application to introduce day baking. Hahn's argument that night baking meant that bakers did not have enough rest, nor time to be good husbands and fathers was defeated in court. In the end, day baking was agreed to by the Master Bakers under threat of strike action. The bakers are formally dressed for the occasion, with all wearing ties and many with medallions on chains attached to their waistcoats. Four of them have flannel flowers in their buttonholes, while several others have fastened another type of light coloured flower to their jackets. The flannel flowers might have been worn because they were associated with Federation and were depicted on invitations to official Federation events.Two men are smoking; Mr Douglass has a cigarette and Mr Dorder has a cigar. Heavy stonework and pilasters on the building behind the group indicate that the venue was probably at the Melbourne Trades Hall, the oldest union building in the world. The representatives are (from left to right), standing: S.J. Mitchell (Broken Hill), G. Axelsen (Queensland), W. Ryan (W.Aus), W.J. White (S.Aus), F. Hahn (S.Aus), A. Dobson (Vic), P.G. Halliday (N. S. W.), J. McCarthy (Queensland), D. McLean (Newcastle); sitting: J. Pye (N. S. W.), C. Dorder (Geelong), F. Rush (Tas), C. Large (Vic), F. Bensch (Bendigo), T.Seymour (Vic); sitting on the grass: G. Douglass (Ballarat), W. Hayson (Vic), C. Sumner (Ballarat).

(2004-02-25T05:45:32Z) Swift Photo Co., photographic studio
Photograph of bakers' float harnessed to four horses in front of a building at the Royal Agricultural Society Showground. The showground was the usual Sydney destination for the processions until about 1920 and was where the marchers and their families would partake in sports, entertainment and speeches after the parade. The scene is populated by a number of men costumed as bakers both on the float and on the grass, as well as men in suits and some women. One baker appears to be wearing sash-like regalia. The float displays a tableau of a working bakery with painted brick walls and is adorned with sprigs of flowers, possibly wisteria, and triangular flags. The horses, which would have been hired for the occasion are decorated with ornate harnesses, nickelled mounts, bells and ribbons. The building in the background has an ornate façade with a row of arched windows, semicircular and pillared insets into the roof and a curved bell-topped tower.

Portion of Perth and Fremantle bakers' working display
(Eager, Harriet. Labour's day: the eight hour parade 1856-1920s. University of Sydney History Honours Thesis, 2001. (p44), 2004-02-25T05:45:29Z) Shaw Bros. Kimberley & Leedervile, photographic studio
Photograph of twelve men wearing white aprons and bakers' caps on and alongside a bakers' horsedrawn float. One baker carries the organisation's furled banner and the float on the left displays a General Workers Union banner with the mottos: Unity, Concord; and the images of a hand clasp, black swans and number eights. The floats are participating in an Eight Hour Day parade. The bakers present a tableau of a working bakery complete with an oven and painted brick walls decorated with loaves of bread. Many of the loaves have been made into figures of eight. The bakers usually distributed the bread to the public during the procession. The name G. Whitehead can be seen on the tray of the vehicle. There are also several onlookers, including a small boy. The location is probably Fremantle Port because the Trades Hall erected there in 1904 became the focus for Eight Hour and May Day processions.
