NO DOLE FOR MINERS
STATE CABINET TAKES FIRM STEP-
N.S.W. PREMIER’S WARNING United P.A.—By Telegraph Copyright Reed. 11 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. The S tate Cabinet has decided to cease the payment of dole to miners and their dependents, also to withdraw the offer of 2s a ton remission of Government charges in the transport of coal, and to summon immediately a further conference of all parties to renew negotiations for a resumption of work. It is not indicated that relief will be stopped forthwith, but the Premier. Mr. Bavin, has issued a warning that payment cannot continue indefinitely. If an agreement is reached between the parties the Government will be prepared to assist the coal industry by making a reasonable reduction in transport charges. The Government proposes to seek the co-operation of employers and employees in attempting to solve the problems, both financial and economic, now facing the coal industry. Cabinet has made the above decisions after considering the financial and industrial position, which is reflected in the unprecedented unemployment throughout the Commonwealth.
