WHAT IT MEANS
BOYCOTT OF STATE
OMINOUS DEVELOPMENT
. (Received 19th November, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The effect of the meeting of the combined committee of the mining unions was to declare a general strike in all tho mines in tho State if any mines wero manned with volunteer labour. This means that if the State Government secures sufficient men to man tho Bpthbury niino to-morrow, tho mining unions will withdraw their men from all the other mines, leaving the Government mind the solo producer of coal in the State.
An appeal is made to the Federal Government to take over the mines, and an appeal to the people for the endorsement of their action.
1 An ominous development in the situation was the intervention by the Trades Hall unions, which up to the present have played no part in the dispute. If the unions withdraw labour from the pits now working over 30 000 men will bo thrown idle.
