Looking Back: 100 Years Ago on 12 November 1925
Impact of the British Seamen’s Strike
The producers of Victoria are losing thousands of pounds due to the British Seamen’s Strike, which is directed by communist agitators. The strike affects the entire community because every wage-earner feels the consequences.
"Everybody Suffers when the Strike Agitators Rule."
Labor organizations are heavily influenced by communists who openly advocate for the abolition of private property. The solution proposed is to stamp out communism by returning a government with a majority in both houses of Parliament.
Russian Orthodox Church in Dandenong
A church built in Dandenong in the traditional Russian Orthodox style would be a valuable tourist attraction and an asset to the municipality. Michael Protopopov of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Melbourne commented on the refusal by the Dandenong Council and the Board of Works to approve the Russian community’s church application.
"Rev Safronoff is quite correct when he wrote to Dandenong Council stating the church is part of life in the Russian Community. They cannot live without their church."
About 150 families in the parish wish to build a permanent church in the true Russian Orthodox style, where they can continue to honor God as their ancestors did.
Future Use of Former Sewerage Plant
The ex-sewerage plant is planned to become a retail precinct, signaling a shift in land use for the community’s benefit.
Author’s Summary: The 1925 strike deeply affected Victoria’s economy, highlighting communist influence in labor, while the Russian community fought to preserve its cultural and religious identity amid municipal resistance.
