STRIKE MOVE DELAYED
BUT N.S.W. MINERS SEEM DETERMINED AN IMPORTANT DECISION Reed. 9 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. The engine-drivers’ and firemen’s executive met in the Trades Hall last evening and passed a resolution in favour of withdrawing all drivers and firemen from the pits, which will precipitate a general strike throughout the State unless the miners’ delegates, meeting in conference tomorrow, can formulate alternative plans to bring about an end of the present coal deadlock. The decision means the withdrawal
of the safety men from all the collieries throughout New South Wales. It was agreed not to put the decision to strike into effect for the time being, so as not to prejudice the negotiations for settlement. Mr. Browne, K.C., counsel for the unions, has submitted proposals for a conference to Government, the employers and the unions. The environs of most of the Northern mines were deserted yesterday. The Hebburn collieries continue to be picketed.
