COALFIELDS DISPUTE
NEW SOUTH WALES COLLIERIES.
A SILENT STRUGGLE. Presa Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Press Association. SYDNEY, May 30. Matters in connection with the coal troubles are quiet. The masters are depending on a waiting policy. They claim that the union leaders’ aim is job control, which the employers are determined to resist to their uttermost. The men show little inclination at present to accept the owners’ terms. Meanwhile tho stacked coal nfc the idle Maitland) pits is being loaded with the assistance of non-union labor under police protection, the strikers mostly contenting themselves with easing their feelings against the interlopers. The demonstrations, which include tho playing of the ‘ Dead March,’ are generally of a peaceable character. The police quickly suppress any tendency towards roughor methods.
