THE AUSTRALIAN MINERS.
Should the threatened strike of miners in Australia take place 0300 men will be thrown out of work. Vessels representing 80.000 tons are at Newcastle awaiting cargoes of coal. . It is anticipated that if the Maritime Labour Council support the colliers in their dispute against the ' masters, the strike will extend over a lengthy period, and will result in the demands being conceded. The miners in the western and southern districts will in all probability not go cut on strike, but will financially assist those who do. The Chamber of Commerce is endeavouring to mediate between the men and employers. The Gas Company is anxious as to the result of the strike, and the management are taking steps to secure as much coal -as possible before the men go out. Enquiries are being made with a view of obtaining supplies of coal from New Zealand.
