FRESH JUDGE TO SIT
COAL APPEAL HEARING
MILITANCY AMONG MINERS
FORMING DEFENCE CORPS
By Telegraph—Pres# Assn. —Copyright.-?- ? Rec. 5.5 p.m. , Sydney, Dec. 29. When the coal award case came on today the Chief Justice announced that he had handed further hearing over to Mr. Justice Rich. The court adjourned till Monday to enable a decision to be made as to whether proceedings should begin anew. At a combined meeting of miners’ lodge representatives at Newcastle it'was decided to institute a labour defence corps in the north. It was also decided to give theexecutive certain powers'to deal with the Rothbury position. Other decisions at the meeting indicated a strong trend towards militancy.
Mr. J. H. Scullin’s proposal to subsidise production while a new award is being formulated met with a scornful and unanimous rejection. Continuous picketing of all closed mines was agreed to. A motion for a general strike, however, was defeated.
