LONG STRUGGLE EXPECTED.
Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, November 3
The Cabinet discussed the coal crisis and decided to fix prices to prevent inflation and to issue a proclamation to ascertain the available supplies, which will be commandeered if necessary. The State Railway Department has seized all stocks awaiting shipment at Pyrmont and Newcastle.
Meanwhile both sides are settling down to a long fight, the proprietors contending that "bank to bank" moans from the time the last man enters the pit until the first man is out. The miners' definition is the first in and the last out. Melbourne, November 2.
The Federal authorities have decided to commandeer coal supplies.
