Collapse of a Strike.
(Per Press Association.) 2S T KvrOAsXLE, This Day. CJurley, Secretary of the Miners" Association, advised the Gretta miners, who have been on strike for many months, to return to work on the best terms obtainable. He said the Association is hoplessly beaten, and the funds totally exhausted. The lodges refuse to collect the necessary levies. The miners accepted his advice, but the Company refuse to recognise them as a Ipdge, and will then only deal with the men individually. There are further signs of disruption. The Association, men employed in the Newcastle Coal Company's pits have decided by a large majority to secede from the Union. So desirous are the Unionist miners, lately employed on the co-operative works, of obtaining employment that they made an offer to the Company to cut coal at from 4d to 6d less than the price paid to non-Unionists.
