TOWARD PEACE
STRUGGLE TO SETTLE COAL STRIKE
OFFICIAL NEGOTIATIONS SYDNEY, Wednesday. High hopes are entertained in Federal political circles that peace in the coalmining industry in imminent. The Commonwealth Government has renewed its offer of 9d a ton in wages either to the owners or the miners pending a further examination of the rates which the industry can afford to pay. Certain objections have been made to this offer by Mr. Bavin as well as the owners. Mr. Bavin objects to the taxpayers being saddled with a coal subsidy twice over, since he also is expected to reduce freight and handling charges which would amount to a loss of revenue.
The owners are opposed to a patched-up peace, but the Prime Minister insists that it would be better if these terms were accepted than to allow the industry to be ruined.
