COAL TROUBLE
SYDNEY COUNCIL’S MOVE. (Australian Press Association) SYDNEY, Dec. 6. The coal situation is still menacing. The latest development is that the Disputes Committee of tlie Labour Council left to-day for the Northern Fields, with the object, it is believed, of testing tbe feeling for a general strike. They expressed the view that the acceptance of the peace terms would amount to a betrayal of the miners. STRIKE POLICY CONDEMNED. SYDNEY. Dec. G. Commenting on the Labour Council’s advocacy of a general strike in the coal industry, Air H. Sutherland, the Organiser of the Alining Engine Drivers’ Association, said that, to advocate a general strike in the present moment, when fifty per cent of the workers in the mining industry have been ten bitter •mouths on grass, is the logic of fools and the gopsel of men more concerned with advertising themselves than with the interests of the working class. (Received this dav at 9. a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. 7.
Five thousand Cessnock miners rejected the peace terms by an overwhelming majority. They leered at and grossly insulted their delegates to the recent conference, whereat the proposed peace terms were arranged.
