N.S.W. COAL CRISIS
MINERS’ MILITANT ATTITUDE {Australian Press Association). SYDNEY, Dec. 29. ® When the coal award case came on yesterday, the Chief Justice, Sir A. Knox, anounced that he had handed the further hearing of the case over to Mr Justice Rich. The High Court then adjourned till Monday, to enable a decision to he made as to whether the proceedings should begin de novo. At a combined meeting of the Miners’ Lodge representatives- at Newcastle. it was decided to institute a labour defence corps in the north. It was also decided to give the Executive certain powers to i deal with the Rotlibury position. Other decisions at the meeting indicated a strong trend towards militancy. Mr Scullin’s proposal to subsidise production while the new award is being formulated met with scornful unanimous rejection. The continuous picketing of all closed mines was agreed to. A motion for a general strike, however, was defeated.
