COAL CRISIS IN AUSTRALIA.
Engine Drivers To Resume. GENERAL POSITION EASIER. (United Press Association—By Electric Tel egr aph—Copyright.) (Received February 4, 8.15 p.m.) SYDNEY. February 4. The coal position is slightly easier. Mr J. T. Atkins (general secretary of the Federated Engine Driver’s Association) to-day instructed his members to resume work at all the northern collieries. He expects work will recommence immediately at what are known as the unassociated pits, which were working before Christmas, and that attempts will be made to re-start the associated pits which were subject to the prolonged dispute. Mr Atkins says his men will have to run the risk of being picketed. He has received an assurance that the police will afford them every protection.
