COAL-OWNERS LIABLE?
COVENANT BROKEN IN NEW SOUTH WALES MEN NOT EMPLOYED Reed. 11.45 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. The Crown Solicitor, Mr. J. V. Tillett, advised the State Premier, Mr. T. R. Bavin, that the northern coalowners had rendered their leases liable to cancellation, through failure to employ men. The covenants provide that a certain number of competent hands must be employed, and unless prevented by accident a miner must be worked on all lawful working days. The question, therefore, is whether non-employ-ment owing to the present dispute is an accident. Mr. Tillett is of the opinion that the owners are not entitled to rely on this, and the question of fact must be determined by the Executive Council.
