NO IMMEDIATE PROSPECT OF SETTLEMENT.
NON-UNION MEN STILL
WORKING

SYDNEY. March 13
The coal strike position is daily becoming worse and there is no immediate prospect of a settlement. A small group of mines in the Rothbury district, near Maitland, which is being worked by non-union labour, is not yet idle and is producing 10.000 tons weekly. These may yet be coerced into the strike by reason of threats emanating from strikers against the miners employed in those pits. A report from Brisbane states that the Mount Isa mines will become idle at the weekend, when coal supplies give out throwing 1400 men out of employment and indirectly affecting 5000 others.
