N.S.W. COAL DISPUTE.
Scullin and Bavin to Consult During Week-end. FEDERAL MINISTERS ANXIOUS. SYDNEY, January 31. The coalmining dispute is likely to engage the Prime Minister, Mr. J. H. Scullin, and the Premier of New South Wales, Mr. T. It. Bavin, during the coming week-end. Mr. Bavin has announced that his Government is seriously considering the withdrawal of the offer it made in September to reduce coal-handling charges. Mr. Scullin is perturbed by the recent turn of events in financial circles abroad due to the industrial unrest in Australia. Mr. E. G. Theodore is reported to have told some of his constituents that the Federal Government is seriously thinking of imposing a prohibitive tariff on imported coal.
