COAL TROUBLE
THE DEADLOCK CONTINUES. \Australian Press Association) (Received this day at 9.25 a.m.) SYDNEY, August 3. A prospect of the settlement of the coal deadlock by compromise as was anticipated this week-end lias been 1 disappointed,J by an official statement by the mining industry officials who repudiate the proposals io this end made earlier in the week bv Sutherland, the engine drivers organiser. They contend that it has already been agreed by the mine, unions and engine drivers that they • cannot tolerate any wage mluction whatever. The mill owners have already made plain that the only basis .of a compromise would ibe a slight wage reduction. Miners officials also made the diamatic discovery, that among Sutherland’s proposals was an agreement with the mine owners to refrain from interfering with engine drivers wages for a period of three years, which the miners officials interpret as an attempt to save their own skins at the expense of the coal miners.
