NO STRIKE MEANTIME
IN AUSTRALIAN COAL MINES
OFFER OF TRIBUNAL ACCEPTED ON CONDITIONS. ) UNIFORM REGULATIONS WANTED • IN ALL STATES. (Recd This Day, 11.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The Miners' Convention decided to accept the New South Wales Premier’s offer of a tribunal to inquire into questions of safety and health in mines subject to the other States agreeing to enact uniform regulations. Nevertheless the convention decided to proceed with the proposal to serve the miners’ log claims upon all Governments and colliery proprietors throughout the Commonwealth. It is now certain that there will be no general strike in the coal industry at least for the time being. The federated Engine Drivers’ and Firemen’s Union, whose' members occupy key positions at the mines, will hold stopwork meetings to ascertain whether they favour arbitration or direct action to enforce their claims.
