COAL DISPUTE
TERMS OF SETTLEMENT
REJECTION BY LITHGOW MINERS POSITION IN BALANCE (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 10.55 p.m.) Sydney, December 4. Meetings of miners on the northern coalfields in order to discuss the terms of the settlement of the coal dispute will be held during the week-end. Their delegates to the recent conference are strongly urging acceptance of the terms, but there is considerable hostility in some quarters, and an attempt will be made by militants to have the terms rejected. There was a significant development today at Lithgow in the western district, where the miners at a mass meeting unanimously rejected the terms, and also pledged themselves to fight any kind of wage reduction to the bitter end. The position therefore is still in the balance.
