N.S.W. COAL DISPUTE.
Owners' Leases Liable To Cancellation. FAILURE TO EMPLOY MEN. (Received 12.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, this day. The Crown Solicitor, Mr. Tillett, advised the State Premier that the northern coal owners had rendered their leases liable to cancellation through failure to employ men. The covenants provide that a certain number of competent hands must be employed and unless prevented by accident a miner must be Worked on all lawful working days. The question, therefore, is whether the non-employment, owing to the present dispute, is an accident. Mr. Tillett is of the opinion that owners are not entitled to rely on that and the question of the fact must be determined by the Executive Council.
