♦ (Electric Telegraph— Copyright-United Press Association.) (KeceivedJan. 14,9.30 a.m.) NEWCASTLE, Jan. 14. Several leading miners lodges have rejected the rates proposed to be paid by the colliery proprietors under the new weighing regulations. It is a foregone conclusion that, a majority of the lodges will reject the proprietors' proposals. (Received Jan. 14, 9.45 a.m.) SYDNEY. Jan. 14. The new business of the Australian Mutual Provident Society last year was over three and three-quarter millions, the largest since 1892. Each individual colony shows a substantial increase over the previous year, aggregating over £600,000. Three armed men stuck up Robinson, a Singer sewing machine agent, near Helens- ' burg, and robbed him of over £8. A meeting of carpenters and joiners decided to demand 9s per day or strike on Monday. It is understood that a majority of the employers are prepared to concede the increase.
