POSITION IN OTHER STATES
DOUBT ABOUT QUEENSLAND (Received Bth September, 11.10 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Mr Lyons said he could not adopt Mr Curtin’s suggestion that the Federal Government should intervene. He appealed to the miners to settle the dispute by arbitration. There appears to be doubt about the position of miners in other States. Although the Victorian branch of the Miners’ Federation is prepared for a long stoppage, members have not yet been instructed that they must begin a general strike on Friday. It is doubtful whether Queensland miners will strike. If they do it would not be until after Monday, when stop-work meetings will be held. Coal miners in Tasmania, despite their objection as Individuals to a general strike, apparently are to be forced into a Common-wealth-wide strike. The men on the Tasmanian fields do not attempt to conceal their objection to cessation of work.
