GENERAL MINE STRIKE
LABOUR COUNCIL'S IDEA
TASK OF STATE GOVERNMENT
(Received 6th December, 10 a.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day. Following the rejection of the coal settlement agreement by four thousand miners at Kurri, a general mining strike throughout the Commonwealth was declared for by the Labour Council at a meeting called to consider the debacle. A meeting of the Kurri miners resolved that the lodges be instructed immediately to appoint two representatives each to confer with a view to formulating a policy to continue the struggle.
The adverse decision of the Kurri meeting means the end of the present settlement proposals, as it is considered impossible for auy other centres to accept the terms in the face of the Kurri rejection.
The State Cabinet meets shortly to consider its decision to re-opeu certain mines and the question of continuing the dole to men who refuse to return to work.
