MINERS’ STRIKE
COMPROMISE PREDICTED
.Australian Press Association)
SYDNEY, July 31
Indications point to an early settlement of the coal strike as the result of the expressed desire of the miners’ representatives for a compromise, and the pressure of business people for a re-opening of the mines, in order to avoid bankruptcy. The commission to-day issued a statement defining the basis of profits, and procedure it intended to adopt in arriving at its decision. In this regard the Mners* Representatives, however, declared there is no guarantee that the Commission’s finding will be binding on either side. They are not anxious to await its ultimate conclusions, and therefore overtures will be made during tne week-end to the mine owners for the resumption of negotiations for a settlement. It is expected that a re-, commendation to accept the owners’ bedrock terms will be approved by a full meeting of representatives, engine drivers and mine employees, on Friday night.
