MINERS GIVE IN
50 HOURS' STAY-IN STRIKE
(Received September 10, 11.15 a.m.) MELBOURNE,. This Day.
Weary and exhausted after fifty hours underground in the Korumburra (Gippsland) colliery, the 30 coalminers who began a stay-in strike at midnight on Wednesday' left the pit last night.
"They can stay there for a month so far as we are concerned," declared a mine official, who said the strike was against the decision to close the mine because the low price of coal did not permit payment of the wage increase recently granted.
