His other consuming interests were the union movement, serving the Printing Industry Employees’ Union and the Federated Municipal and Shire Council Employees’ Union, and the Labor Party. He supported Jack Beasley, Jack Lang and John Armstrong, and stood aside to allow Armstrong a clear run as an Alderman.
