MINERS ON STRIKE
IN NEW SOUTH WALES IMMEDIATE PROSECUTIONS ORDERED. UNDER NEW COMMONWEALTH CODE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.50 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Four hundred coal miners who stopped work yesterday on the Northern New South Wales coalfield will be prosecuted under the Commonwealth Government's new plan for dealing with coal stoppages. The men allege that the bathroom at the mine does not conform with the requirements of the Mines Regulation Act. Individual summonses will be issued against the men concerned in the stoppage. This action follows quickly on the Prime Minister’s announcement yesterday that the new code would be “enforced absolutely." Within a few hours of the promulgation of the code, a Commonwealth investigating officer was on the spot and a decision had been made to prosecute.
