NEW SOUTH WALES COLLIERIES.
The Southern miners' meeting carried resolutions requesting Mr McGowen to summon Parliament to amend the Industrial Disputes and Coal Mines Act so that the miners might be relieved from the present tyranny and injustice of the employers, and protesting against Waugh's appointment as inspector, and declaring that they would not agree to any grievance being investigated by him.
Telegrams of sympathy were read from tho gas workers, the watersido workers, the coal lumpers, and the Northern miners. Strong fighting speeches were mado by Peter Bowling and other leaders. Bowling declared that ho did not want any other Union to come out, but tho unionists of Australia and New Zealand would help, and no woman rx child would go hungry. The mine-owners meet to-day to consider the men's proposal. Advices from Newcastle indicate that it is not likely that the trouble will spread to the northern coalfields.
