BRITISH MINERS FINED
For Going on Strike 1100 MEN CHARGED. [Aust. & N.Z. Cable Assn.] LONDON. August 13. Eleven hundred colliery haulage hands and men at Doncaster were ordered by Magistrates to pay three companies damages in sums ranging from 15s to £5 for breach of contract after stoppages in which the miners lost £30,000 in wages. It is alleged that they struck because they had refused employment after some boys had struck. The night shift men contended that it was the custom not to work if the afternoon shift had not worked. ■
