. (Received 10.25 p.m.) A. and N.Z. SYDNEY. May 10. Tho Northern coal miners have decided that they will not give way to tho demands made by the owners. They state that rather than do so, they will engage in a bitter galling contest, which ' must ensue in consequence of this decision. The northern owners will moot on Monday to discuss the question of introducing voluntary labour in the idle mines. It is estimated that since the Ma.itland pits closed the employees have lost nearly £250,000 in wages. Another South Coast pit, the Metropolitan, employing 600 men, i has been rendered idle. Following an ultimatum by the Southern owners that unless the idle mines resumed immediately, the conference with the Miners' Federation fixed for to-morrow would be abandoned, the conference baa been postponed indefinitely.
