THE BROKEN HILL STRIKE.

SYDNEY, September 15. (Received September 15, 1892, at 11 45 a.m.)
Sir G. R. Dibbs refused the request of the Labor Defence Committee for the appointment of a royal commis&ion to inquire into the merits of the Broken Mill dispute. The Premier states that the misapprehension with the Government of South Australia has been satisfactorily explained, and that the latter have now offered all assistance in their power. The Amalgamated Carpenters' Society of Broken Hill have asked the Mine-owners' Association whether they would receive delegates from the miners if Messrs Heath and Ferguson (leaders of the strike) were excluded. The owners replied that tbey would have met them before August 25 if they had abandoned the picketing and other coercive measures, but they failed to see the utility of a conference now that Mr Baxter, the contractor, has, it is understood, engaged all the men he wants in New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia.
