COAL TROUBLE.
DEADLOCK IN NEW SOUTH WALES. By TelegraDli.—-Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, July 1. All the coal mines in the northern, western and southern districts of New South Wales were idle on Wednesday, while the men discussed the owners' reply to the union's demands. The miners decided to reject the owners' of- ! fer, namely: The appointment of a tribunal by Mr. Hughes, and meanwhile a minimum rate of 14s 6d. 1 The meetings requested a Royal Commission to inquire comprehensively respecting the coal and coke industry, including freights, profits, prices, hours, conditions, and wages. The proprietors complain that they are unable to accept orders for large quantities of coal owing to the intermittent and irritating stoppages. The union argues that the workers at 13s Bd averaged £2 14s per week based on time. Mr.. Willis, the miners' secretary, speaking at Bulli. said nothing short of socialisation would solve the question.
