THE NEWCASTLE COLLIERY DISPUTE.
EXPECTED SETTLEMENT.
Sydney, January' 8. There-is every reason to anticipate a satisfactory settlement of the coal difficulty. The proprietors state thfU figures show that more than half the coai obtained in the colony must find an outside market, and unless it can be supplied low enough to compete with coat from other parts of the world some of the Newcastle mines must close. Under such circumstances they think it will not be difficult to induce the miners to agree without taking the extreme step of striking. Generally the settlement at Wallsend has been a potent factor in dispelling the threatened trouble. The attitude taken by the Australian Agricultural Company, whose superintendent some time ago expressed the opinion that wages were low 'enough, has played no little part in averting a difficulty so far.
