MINING DISPUTE.
SYDNEY, October 19. The outlook at the Barrier mine is grave. At the meeting yesterday between the delegates of the combined unkms and the Mine Managers' Association the latter declined to go back on their promise to meet the non-political union to-morrow. The managers explained that the meeting could only discuss the situation. The delegates, however, refused to budge from their position not to allow the managers, under threat of a strike, to meet the non-political union. A ballot of the combined unions was completed late last night, the result being 3540 in favour of and 430 against a strike. The Barrier crisis has been averted. The non-political union, after deceiving a, deputation of trades people, who urged that serious distress was likely to follow a strike, decided to abandon the conference with the mine managers. This removes the cause for the combined union J Strike^ which will be declared off»
