LABOR MATTERS.
AN INDUSTRIAL STORM. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright, Sydney, November 29. The Labor Council has received a communication from the Kalgoorlie and Boulder City Miners' Unions that an industrial storm is gathering. The miners are faking a ballot to decide on the action regarding the demand for higher wages. If work is ceased, 25,000 people, after a fortnight, will be dependent on outside help. The Chamber of Mines has offered to increase 1 the surface rate from 10s to 10s 6d daily. The ballot is expected to reject decisively the miners' circular advocating a general strike.
