APPEAL TO THE FEDERAL POWER. 1 (Eec, March 2, 0.30 a.m.) Sydnoy, Maroh L ' The proceedings before the Newcastle. | Wages Board have coma to an abrupt [ termination owing to a telegram being re: • ceived from Melbourne stating that ap- ' plication is being made to the CommonI wealth Arbitration Court with regard to i the claims of the Engine-drivers' Associa- ■ tion. i As a matter of fact, the engine-drivers' 1 case is now being dealt with by the State Wages Board, and its award should shortly be made. The proprietors now have to show to the Federal Court why they should not be obliged to have that case heard all over again. As ,ite proprietors' representative and counsel have to go to Melbourne for that purpose, the Board adjourned toll next Tuesday. Mr. Charlton, a member of the. State Assembly who represents the Colliery Em,ployees' Federation, made it clear to the Court that the Federation is np party to this new development On the contrary, it viewed it with apprehension, It is now generally regarded as improbable that a settlement of tho strike, will be effected before Easter.
