THE STRIKERS’ VIEWS. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. SYDNEY,'March 19 A meeting of miners resolved not to resume until Russell and two others are reinstated, a tribunal to be appointed later to investigate. MEN LOOKING FOR TROUBLE. PETER BOWLING TALKING. (Received March 20, 10.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, March 20The southern miners’ meeting also carried resolutions requesting Mr. M’Gowen to summon Parliament to amend the Industrial Disputes and Coal Miners Acts “so that we may, be relieved from the present tyranny and injustice of employers;” protesting against Mr. Waugh’s appointment as inspector, and declaring that they would not agree to any grievance being investigated by him. Telegrams of sympathy were read from the gas and waterside workers, coal dumpers, and northern miners. Strong fighting speeches were made by Peter Bowling and other leauars. Bowling declared that he did not want any other unions to come out, but the unionists of Australia and New Zealand would help, and no woman or child would go hungry. The meet to-day to consider the men’s proposal. Advices from Newcastle indicate that it is unlikely the trouble will spread to the northern coalfields.
