MINERS IDLE.
United Press Association -«y Electric Telegraph Copyright. Received January 5, 8.35 a.m. LONDON, January 4. Upwards of twenty thousand miners are idle in Northumberland and Durham, owing to trouble arising from the working of the Eight Hours' Act.
THE NEWCASTLE STRIKE.
PROSPECTS OF SETTLEMENT,
Received January 5, 9.25 a.m. SYDNEY, January 5. The continued idleness of the miners' mines, which it is now announced will not again work during the strike, coupled with Mr Bowling's repeated assertion that the strike is approaching a settlement, led to the belief that important developments are likely. There is a growing opinion that Mr Bowling intends to advise the miners to accept a compulsory board as a means of settling their grievances. Several Southern miners' after addresses from Mr Bowling ?nd other leaders, adopted resoluions supporting Mr Bowling and the Congress. The Coal-lumpers' Union carried a similar motion.
