COALMINES DEADLOCK.
SPREAD OF UNEMPLOYMENT. ■* RELIEF FUND ORGANISED. (Received March 7, 11.35 p.m.) SYDNEY. March 7. More than 100 railway employees engaged handling coal at Newcastle have been instructed to begin their annual holidays forthwith. If by the time the holidays of the men finish the trouble with the miners is not over the railway employees are likely to be faced with unemployment. A number of coko oven and blastfurnace hands at the Broken Hill Proprietary works, Newcastle, may be paid off at the end of this week. A fund for the relief of the distressed miners is now being organised. The Miners' Federation has decided to allow the safety men to remain on duty in the northern collieries while the mines are closed.
