NO STRIKE PROBABLE
AUSTRALIAN MINERS. REPORT INCORRECT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. (Received January 23, 9.20 p.m.) SYDNEY, January 23. Mr Willis, the secretary of the Coalminers’ Federation, denies that there is any probability of a general strike of coal-miners. He states that the reports of such an eventuality are incorrect, misleading, and mischievous. A cablegram which was published yesterday stated that the Coal-miners’ Federation was placing before the proprietors almost immediately a demand for a complete operation of the 1919 log, which included a six-hour day, bank to bank, and a five-day week. It was stated that unless the proprietors agreed to all the demands there was every possibility of a general strike by coal-miners throughout Australia in February.
