UNDERGROUND STRIKE
MINERS STAY DOWN.
(Rec. 12.15 p.m.) SYDNEY, Aug. 22. Thirty miners at the Rhondda colliery on the northern coalfields who began a "stay-in" strike on Monday morning " are still underground. Yesterday the employees at three small neighbouring collieries went on strike in sympathy with the Rhondda men and marched three miles to the Rhondda pithead, bearing food and tobacco. The Rhondda men are receiving food supplies without opposition from the management. The miners say they are determined not to leave the mine until a new bathhouse, which is under construction, is completed. They went on strike as a protest against the bathing facilities at the mine.
