COAL STRIKE
STOPPAGE CONTINUES AT BROKEN HILL
Sydney, Nov. 20 Both Sydney and Newcastle trades halls have decided that, despite the Broken Hill Proprietary offer to resume normal operations, there can be no resumption while the Broken Hill Proprietary refuses to treat with the combined unions on their demands. In Canberra to-day, the Prime Minister, Mr. Chifley. refused to intervene in the dispute, which he was told was crippling the south coast, and draining it of most of its money. The dispute is in the hands of the New South Wales Trade and Labour Council, he is said to have told a deputation of south coast representatives. Sixteen ships taking coal to southern States are now held un in Newcastle because of the blaclc ban on the Broken Hill Proprietary, but because coal has been taken in other ships Victoria has not. suffered greatly. South Australia, however, has been harder hit. Nine mines are idle in New South Wales to-day for a coal loss of 12,000 tons.
