COAL CRISIS IN N.S.W.
EFFORTS TO PROMOTE SETTLEMENT. (United Pra«s Anoclation—By Eli-itrli Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received February 26 11.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, February 26. The Premier lias returned to Sydney from the Canberra Coal Conference. He stated that the miners’ delegates agreed to submit to the combined unions, without recommendation, whether they should accept 1/- a ton reduction in wages, if chartered accountants, after examination of the coalowners’ affairs, proved that Mr Bavin’s figures relating to the owners’ profits were correct.
Mr Bavin added: “ It is quite obvious that some opposition to our scheme, for a reduction of coal prices is based on misapprehension.” He sincerely hoped, with the Prime Minister, that the miners would see the wisdom of adopting the proposals without delay. It is stated to-day in Sydney that the Northern Colliery Association will not withdraw its notices of dismissal to the miners, which expire on March 2.
Mr McDonald (chairman) declared that they were at the parting of the ways.
