N. S. W. GOAL STRIKE.
CABLE NEWS.
AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS
United Press Association —Copyright. SYDNEY, Nov. 27.
The efforts of Mr. Lees, Acting-Pre-mier, to arrange a meeting of the parties to-day failed. The strike congress accepted the invitation, but the southern and western proprietors declined, while the northern proprietors telegraphed that they had not had time to decide the question. The strike congress lias issued a manifesto to the unions throughout the Commonwealth, appealing for funds.
In the Federal House of Representatives the Government was urged to take action towards settling the strike. Mr Deakin, the Premier, said he considered tluit Federal action was not justified in the present state of the law and the circumstances of the strike. The Government was watching affairs and at the first opportunity the Commonwealth powers would permit of intervention they will be taken advantage
There are 22 steamers and 16 sailers, of a tonnage of 100,000, laid up at Newcastle.
One serious effect of tlio shortage of coal is that the dredges at Newcastle and some of the bar harbors have stopped operations.
