Extract from:-
A Confidential Report on Nationalist Organisation in Queensland, 1920
by Baiba Irving and Bernie Schedvin *
In Brisbane, considerable dissatisfaction existed with the old National Union for a considerable time past. The moving spirits of this Union were Mr. G. S. Murphy of Messrs. Murphy Yarwood & Co., and Mr. J. K. Stewart of Messrs. A. Stewart & Sons Ltd., and Mr. P. A. Blundell 21 , Managing Director of the Queensland Trustee Coy.
These gentlemen agreed some little time back that the Union wanted strengthening, and a meeting was then called of something just over 100 of what are regarded as the principal business men of Brisbane, and a new National Union was formed. The old members agreed to go to a ballot for the election of the Executive. They did not stipulate that they should remain on the Executive and additional members should be elected as some of their supporters think they should have done. The result was the election of an Executive consisting as follows :-
Mr. J. E. S. Plumridge, Messrs. Plumridge Ltd. (Chairman).
A. D. Walsh 22, Manager, Edwards, Dunlop & Co. Ltd.
F. R. Lloyd 23, Manager, Dalgety & Co. Ltd.
