At a mass meeting of coal miners at Wallsend and Cessnock, the proposals of the Central Council of the Miners’ Federation were rejected. The officials were severely criticised for calling the men out before aggregate meetings were held. Several meetings on the northern fields agreed with the council’s proposals. The Cessnock meeting was addressed by an official of the New Zealand Miners’ Federation, who said the Australian miners would be assured of support from New Zealand miners should they decide to take up the fight.—(P. A.). STATE WORKERS RESUME. (Received Monday, 10.40 p.m.). MELBOURNE, February 14. A mass meeting of men employed at the Wonthaggi State coal mine decided to resume work to-morrow.—(P.A.).
