STILL UNDERGROUND.
MINERS’ “STAY-IN” STRIKE (Rec. 1.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Thirty miners at the Rhondda Colliery in the northern coalfields, who began a “stay-in” strike on Monday morning, are still underground. Yesterday employees at three small neighbouring collieries went on strike in sympathy with the Rhondda men, and marched three miles to the Rhondda pithead bearing food and tobacco. The Rhondda men are receiving food supplies without opposition from the management. The miners say they arc determined not to leave the mine until the new bath-house, under construction, is completed." They went on strike as a protest against bathing facilities at the mine.
