SYDNEY COLLIERY
SERIES OF DISPUTES
(Australian Press Association.)
SYDNEY 7 , October 10,
Internal dissension among the miners who operate the Balmain Colliery in Sydney, under an agreement witii the liquidators of the original company, continues to make the mine the scene of Gilbertian tactics.
The body of the mine shareholders have decided to declare the pit black, and to sack the manager, Mr Murray, because lie has insisted on selecting the men required. The black ban is aimed at preventing any but the disgruntled miners own friends being engaged. The manager, however, declines to accept his dismissal, and the liquidators support him, considering that lie is the most capable man for the job.
This mine has been the centre o 7 disputes for mere than a year between sections of the employees, and several times it has been put on the glaek list by one party to coerce the other.
Apart from the surface staff, the pit is at • present idle, and no coal has beeii produced for three iiloliths.
