MINERS' MEETING AT NEWCASTLE. A CLERGYMAN'S PROTEST. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph ' Copyright. | Received January 10, 10.5 a.m. SYDNEY, January 10. At a mass meeting of Newcastle miners, strong speeches were made against Mr Wade's new Act and the prosecution of the union leaders. One speaker advised that if it were necessary to get arms or to take Mr Wade out and shoot him. tl.e.i he would do it. The Dean of Newcastle, amid a storm of interruption, mounted tbe platform and protested that the speakers did not represent the think ing portion of the people of the district. Such speeches, he said, justified the Government in taking legal action. COMPOLSOKy; WAGES BOARD. I Received January 10. 10.40 p.m. SYDNEY, January 10. The compulsory Wages Board resumed its sittings at Newcastle. Mr Peter Bowling aaid that since the previous sitting three weeks ago events had occurred and sum mouses had been issued. These developments had distracted—perhaps incensed —the minds of the miners, and prevented them frora coming to a decision on the question whether they would be represented on the Board; also, he again raised the q lestion of the Board's jurisdiction. i The Chairman ruled that the Board had jurisdiction. Mr Bowling then asked for time for the Miners' Federation to consider the Chairman's ruling. The Board ! adjourned January 24th. ___
