COAL STRIKE
POSSIBLE SETTLEMENT IN AUSTRALIA CONSIDERATION BY MINERS’ DELEGATES. MORE MEN & SHIPS IDLE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The miners’ representatives held a special meeting this evening to determine how far they could go toward a settlement as a result of the discussions with owners earlier in the day. The outcome of this meeting will be communicated to the Minister of Labour in the morning. The position is regarded as delicate in view of the recent judgment of Mr Justice Cantor who held that the miners were not justified in advancing new claims while they were already bound to the existing award, which the owners insist should be observed. The inter-State steamers Kooyong and Ena and the trans-Tasman freighter Waiotapu, have been added to the fleet of idle ships in Sydney Harbour About a thousand men employed at the Port Kembla works of Australian Iron and Steel Ltd. have been retrenched because of the strike and other dismissals are likely.
