NEGOTIATIONS FAIL.
IN TRIMMERS STRIKE. 12,000 MINERS IDLE. Press Association-Electric Telegraph-Copyright (Received Monday, 9.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The hopes that the compulsory conference on the trimmers’ strike would lead to a settlement were not realised. Although the conferences reached a basis of settlement,, a mass meeting of the Trimmers’ Union declined to endorse the action of their representatives, and decided that the strike should continue. Already the majority of the collieries on the Maitland and Newcastle fields have closed, owing to the shortage of waggons. About 12,000 miners are idle. A large number of crane hands have been dismissed by the Railway Department.
