GOLDFIELDS STRIKE
SETTLEMENT REACHED.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Perth, February 18.
The Western Australian gold-mining companies have accepted the Ministry’s proposals for a settlement of the dispute which has caused the mines to be idle for six weeks. Work will be resumed immediately. Within six weeks the miners will decide by ballot whether they favour a fortnight with 40 hours in one week and 48 hours in the next, or a 44-hour week. Tire miners at a mass meeting decided in favour of a resumption on this basis. PRINCIPAL MINES REOPEN. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 9.55 p.m.) Kalgoorlie, Feb. 18. After six weeks’ inactivity owing to the strike the principal mines of the Golden Mile re-opened to-day.
