COAL STRIKE IN AUSTRALIA
GOVERNMENT’S ATTITUDE
NOT ALTERED
SYDNEY, September 10. A general strike in the coal industry began officially at midnight, and the pits employing Miners Federation labour in every state except Western Australia are idle. The leaders of the miners announced that they had agreed to exempt the miners in Western Australia from the general strike decision because they already enjoyed the seven-hour day. Although the Prime Minister (Mr J. A. Lyons) will receive a deputation from the Miners’ Federation .today, he said that nothing had occurred to induce the Government to depart from its stand that the proper channel to settle the dispute was the Arbitration Court.
