SAID TO BE ARMING
POWDER MAGAZINE RIFLED
ROTHBURY REACTIONS
United Tress Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received 19th December, 11 a.m. ) SYDNEY, This Day. Officials of the Stanford Jlerthyr Colliery discovered that the powder magazine at the mine had been broken into and a case of explosives and a large number of detonators had been stolen.
A Kurri message reports that the militants are collecting arms and ammunition. Polico action at Cessnock resulted in a prohibition against the sale eitlier of guns or cartridges. All hotels in the mining area are closed even to travellers and boarders. Five unassociated collieries in the Cessnock district where the miners ceased work to attend the funeral of Norman Brown, victim of the Eothbury riots, did not reopen yesterday.
Strenuous efforts are being made by the moderates to have mass picketing stopped. It is understood that members of the Bothbury miners' lodge have decided not to take an active part in any further demonstration.
