Australian Coal Strike
The “Sydney Morning Herald" says it is understood that leaders of striking coal miners agreed at the conference to call aggregate meetings early next week to consider the advice given by the Federal Leader (Mr. J. Curtin), that they should return to work immediately, and seek a variation of their award in the Commonwealth Arbitration Court. It was stated that Mr. Curtin warned the strikers that the Federal Government was determined to introduce volunteers into the collieries and ensure their protection, and that it was stated during the debate that if the strike was not settled, the Labour Party was likely to be defeated at the next Federal election.
