N.S. WALES NORTHERN COAL TRADE.
A DISLOCATION THREATENED
PROPRIETORS’ DETERMINED ATTITUDE.
[UNITED PRESS ABSOCIATION__COPYRIGHT]
(Received Jan. 9, 9.50 p.m.) SYDNEY, Jan. 9. There was an important develop-ment-—possibly the prelude to a dislocation of the northern coal trade at to-day’s meeting of the coal-owners, who* resolved to withdraw from the Joint Conciliation Committee which sometimes acted as mediator between the employer and employees. A letter informing the secretary of the Colliery Employees’ Federation of this-step points out that when the committee was constituted it was clearly understood that it could not excuse interruptions to trade through the stoppages of individual lodges, whereas during the first eight months of the Committee’s existence there were 44 stoppages, and a number since, ending in the meeting of Monday, when nearly all the Maitland pits were idled. This position the proprietors refuse to tolerate longer.
