AUSTRALIAN MINERS
THE GOAL COMMISSION COLLIERY MANAGER’S EVIDENCE. Pres* Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, October 28. At the Coal Commission Mr James Johnstone, manager of the Richmond Main Colliery, near Newcastle, gave evidence to the effect that 10 per cent, of the members of the Minors’ Federation caused all the trouble, and used their full powers of intimidation, while 90 per cent, lacked moral courage, or more correctly industrial courage. The average individual was altogether different from what he was collectively, and the majority could be swayed without difficulty.
