THE BROKEN HILL STRIKE
I UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION. I (Received August 18, 11.45 a.m.) Sydney, This Day. The Broken Hill miners are hopeful that the manifesto of the mine-owners with reference to the terms on which they will work their properties will be the means of opening np negotiations. The Secretary of the Owners' Association telegraphed to the miners that the time had now passed when a conference, even if the pickets were withdrawn, would be productive of good. Tho shareholders are by no means anxious for the resumption of work in the mines, and are quite prepared to allow tho ore to remain in tho ground till its removal will be more profitable. They say the strike has disorganised the whole system of work, which, combined with the low price of silver, prevents normal working for some time. The Proprietary mine is unlikely to engage more than half the nsual complement of men.
