STRIKE MAY SPREAD
SYDNEY'S POWER STATION. (Rec. 9.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, Sept. 4. If the request by the Bunnerong power house engine-men is granted the electricity strike will spread to the New South AVales coalfields'. The Bunnerong engine-drivers and firemen decided to request an extension of the strike to the engine-men on the coalfields, which would mean a general coal stoppage in New South Wales and the loss of 48,000 tons a day—more than all the other States produce. Meanwhile, the miners' convention, meeting in Sydney, has de- • cided that there should be a departure from the use of the strike weapon, and that the miners should serve on the colliery proprietors claims to be covered by a' national agreement extending over five years.
