AUSTRALIAN STRIKE
DEADLOCK REACHED
MINERS DECLINE PROPOSAL
(United Press Associatf on— -By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, October 5. The coal strike took a turn for thie worse today, when a deadlock w as reached in the negotiations for a settlement, and a complete collapse of the efforts of the Minister of Labour, Mri. Mair, is now feared by tb« miners' officials.
Mr. Mair had a long conference wHU. the miners' officials, and tried to urg* them to refer their grievances to th« Arbitration Court and to induce the
men to return to work, a course -"On which the mine owners insist. This course was unacceptable to the mine*-? representatives, who late this afternoon held a meeting to decide their future plans. Meanwhile the shortage of coal is necessitating a further curtailment of railway services in New South Wales, and hundreds of dismissals of raUwiy employees and workers in brickwor&s, quarries, and kindred industries fcav* taken place.
