N.S.W. MINERS DETERMINED
PEACE PROPOSALS REFUSED NO WAGE REDUCTION (Australian Press Assn.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) SYDNEY, August 3. The prospect of a settlement of the coal deadlock by compromise, as was anticipated this week-end, has been dissipated by an official statement by the mining industry officials, who repudiate the phoposals to this end made earlier in the week by Mr. Sutherland, engine drivers’ organiser. They contend, that it has already been agreed by the mine unions and engine drivers that they cannot tolerate any wage redaction whatever. The owners have already made it plain that the only basis 'of compromise would be a slight wage reduction. The miners’ officials also made a dramatic discovery, that among Mr. Sutherland’s proposals was an agreement with the mine owners to refrain from interfering with the engine drivers’ wages for a period of three years, which the miners’ officials interpret as an attempt to save their own skins at the expense of the coal miners.
