THERE IS TO BE NO STRIKE.
THE COLLIERY DIFFICULTY SETTLED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. — Copyright. Received Jannai-g 8, 7.30 p.m. Sydney, January 8. There is every reason to anticipate a satisfactory settlement of the coal difficulty. The proprietors state that figures show that more than half the coal obtained in the colony must find an outside market, and that unless it can be supplied at prices low enough to compete with coal from other parts of the world some of the Newcastle mines must close. Under such circumstances they think it will not be easy to induce the miners to agree to the extreme step of striking generally. The settlement at Wallsend has been a, potent factor in dispelling the threatened trouble. The attitude taken by the Australian Agricultural Company, whose superintendent some time ago expressed the opinion that wages were low enough, has played no little part in averting the difficulty so far.
