AUSTRALIAN COAL TRADE TROUBLE.
SEASONABLE MEDIATION. Per Prees Association. —Copyright. (Received December 15, 11.55 p.m.) SYDNEY, December 15. Mr Hughes, after a long talk with Mr Wade and a subseouent meeting, of the strike congress, left for Newcastle. Before leaving he said that matters had reached a stage when something de-' finite-must b; done, and at a very early period. "I am putting into effect," he said, "what I conceive to be, not only the best ,but the only policy m the interests of both the men and the public. Time alone will show whether or not it will prove successful.": It is believed there are grounds for the persistent rumour that Mr Hughes's mission to Newcastle is to use his influence m persuading the northern men tol consent to the southern miners resuming work. Some northern delegates to the strike congress are accompanying Mr Hughes.
