AUSTRALIAN MINERS
STRIKERS HOLD MEETING LEADERS SEVERELY CRITICISED WONTHAGGI MEN WILL RESUME TO-DAY. fßy Telegraph—Per Press Assn.—Copyright.] Received Feb. 14, 10.40 p.m. SYDNEY, Feb. 14. At mass meetings of coal miners at Wallsend and Cessnock the proposals of the Central Council of tho Miners’ Federation were rejected, and the officials were severely criticised for calling the men out before aggregate meetings had been held. Several meetings on the northern fields agreed with the Council’s proposals. The Cessnock meeting was addressed by an official of the New Zealand Miners’ Federation, who said the Australian miners would be assured of support from the New Zealand miners should they decide to take up the fight. A message from Melbourne states that a mass meeting of men employed at the Wonthaggi State coal mine decided to resume work to-morrow.
