MINING DEADLOCK. • V ■ "" • Prospect Of Compromise In N.S.W. Dissipated. ' WAGE CUT; INTOLERABLE. (Australian- and X.Z. Press : Association.) (Received 9.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day:. The prospect of a settlement of the coal deadlock by a compromise, as was anticipated this week-end, has been dissipated by an official statement from the mining industry officials who repudiate the proposals to this end made earlier in the week by Mr. Sutherland, the enginedrivers' organiser. They contend it has been already agreed by the mine unions and the enginedrivers that they would not tolerate any wage reduction whatever while the owners have already made it plain that the only basis of a compromise would be a slight wage reduction. The miners' officials have also made the dramatic discovery among Mr. Sutherland's proposals of an-agreement with the mineowners to refrain from interfering with the enginedrivers' wages for three years, which the miners' officials interpret as an attempt, to save their own skins at the expense of "the coalminers.
