COAL MINE DISPUTE.
THE BATTLE COMMENCES (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
SYDNEY, Oct. 3. '
The battle between the coal miners and the owners has commenced. All the southern collieries to-day were closed. The owners claim that at most of the mines the men did liot present themselves for work, but Mr Willis states that the men went to the mines ready to start, and' found no work available. He added that the miners would continue to present, themselves at the mines daily, and, in the event of no work, would claim a lock out. So far 4000 men are idle, and it is feared the miners in other districts will strike m sympathy. The Council of Action has concluded its sittings, and has announced that it will use every weapon to enforce the claims of men j who, it declares, have been unjustly treated.
