THE COAL MINING COURT
SYDNEY, Feb. 28. A deadlock has occurred in the special coal mining court. Counsel for th c miners intimated that the miners committee had decided that the Commission was not empowered to take evidence in camera... They had decided not to hear the evidence i n camera for any consideration and all evidence must be given in open court. The President held that the Commission was empowered to take certain evidence in camera. The committee's attitude was untenable. They were making a mountain out of a mole hill. Later a witness on behalf of the owners declined to give evidence with reference to the financial position of the company excepting in camera. The miners counsel asked for an adjournment to enable the miners executive to consider the position. The President adjourned the court for a week and hoped that wise counsel would prevail with the miners.
