N.S.W. COAL DEADLOCK
PROSPECT OF COMPROMISE DISSIPATED PROPOSALS REPUDIATED Reed. 9 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. The prospect of a settlement of the caal deadlock by a compromise, as anticipated this week-end, has been dissipated by an official statement by mining industry officials, who repudiate the proposals to this end made earlier in the week by Mr. Sutherland, the enginedrivers’ organiser. They contend that it has been already agreed by the mine unions and enginedrivers that they will not tolerate any wage reduction whatever, while the owners have already made it plain that the only basis of compromise would be a slight wage reduction. The miners’ officials also made a dramatic discovery among Mr. Sutherland’s proposals of an agreement with the mineowners to refrain from interfering with the enginedrivers' wages for three years, which the miners’ officials interpret as an attempt to save their own skins at the expense of the coalminers.
