MANNING A MINE. MINERS DECISION TO EXTEND STRIKE. (Australian Press Association) (Received this day at 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. 13. Premier Bavin commenting on the miner's decision to >recommend that the coal strike be extended to other States, says the Government is determined to press on with the policy of manning the mines. Engine drivers and itiremcn fornierly employed in Rothbury have definitely decided to sign on for engagement under the conference terms.
A party of twenty-seven men, including miners, left Sydney for Newcastle early this morning to prepare camp at Rothbury. Defiance', threats and recriminations dominated at a stormy meeting of the executives of all Sydney Unions which endorsed the “all out” decision of the Newcastle meeting, and recommended all Unions to strike a compulsory levy of two shillings a week for miners support. One of the miners leaders, T. Hoare, at a meeting of the Labour Council said the miners were ready for the Government’s plans. The Government was sending armed police to Rothbury, but the miners had organised a patrol of motor cycles to get their men together when they wanted them.
