FEDERAL ATTITUDE
APPEAL TO MINERS
SETTLEMENT BY ARBITRA-
TION
(.deceived September 8, 10.50 a.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day.
The Prime Minister, Mr. J. A. Lyons, said he could not adopt Mr. Curtin's suggestion that the Federal Government should : intervene. He would appeal to the miners to settle the dispute by arbitration.
There appears to be doubt about the positipn of the miners in the other States. Although the Victorian branch of the Miners' Federation has prepared for a long stoppage, its members have not yet been instructed that they must begin a general strike on Friday. It is doubtful whether the Queensland miners will strike. If they do, it will not be until after Monday, when stop-work meetings are to be held. The coalminers in Tasmania, despite their objections as individuals to a general strike, apparently are to be forced into a strike throughout the Commonwealth. The men on the Tasmanian coalfields do not attempt to conceal their objection to a cessation of work.
