ACTION BY AUSTRALIAN WORKERS' UNION.
Among those who lost their lives on the Koombana were a number of men--about 20 in all, so far as can be officially ascertained--who were proceeding to the shearing sheds in the North-West. These men were members of the Australian Workers' Union, and their mates on the Upper Liveringa Station have subscribed and forwarded to the head office of the Union in Perth the sum of £50 15s. 6d. to be distributed among the widows and orphans of their late comrades. The secretary of the union (Mr. T. L. Brown) has obtained authority from the headquarters of the Union in the Eastern States to forward subscription lists throughout the shearing sheds in this State in order to augment the amount already donated.

GODDARD.-In loving memory of my dear husband, Thomas Goddard, who lost his life in the Koombana, March, 1912.
It seems but a day since he bade us good-bye,
His heart fall of hope and his spirit so high.
How little we thought, when he left us that day,
The grim hand of Death would soon tear him away.
-Inserted by his loving wife, Rose Goddard.
