Abstract

The stonemasons are noted as being the first organised group of workers anywhere in the world to achieve the 8-hour working day with no loss in pay. Posing outside the Royal Agricultural Society’s Sydney showground, the Stonemasons’ contingent displays two banners that proudly affirm this Society’s achievement.
