THE COAL DISPUTE
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
(Received 7th February, 10 a.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day.
An important development in tho coal situation is tho announcement by the Miners' Council, sitting in Sydney,-that all the unassociatcd in the northern fields will be worked immediately. Two such pits already have resumed. Others will be ready within a few days.
Former employees at the Astonfields colliery have returned to work under a police guard. It will be recalled that some of these men were molested by strikers and stripped and assaulted. They were former members of the Miners' Federation, but now are ostracised.
It is reported that a feeling prevails at Newcastle that the decision to reopen the unassociated pits indicates that Miners' Union officials intend to continue the coal dispute until the State elections, in the hope that a Labour. Government will be returned.
Three hundred and fifty miners at Kurri Kurri were refused relief on the ground that they participated in the black ban.
