STAY-IN STRIKE.
MINERS AT BROKEN HILL,
VISITORS NOT ALLOWED
SYDNEY, July 27,
Unrest in the coal industry was exemplified to-day when a stay-in strike began at the Broken Hill Proprietary’s urwood colliery, near Newcastle.. Two hundred underground workers, complaining of the poor quality of the pit ponies, announced their intention to remain below until the dispute was settled.
Their wives and friends attempted to send down food, but the company’s manager warned them to keep away, and the miners’ representative was not allowed to communicate by telephone with the men.
The women attempted to make a demonstration, but the police dispersed them.
A conference of miners’ delegates with representatives of the northern, southern and western mine owners, in regard to the new log, opened to-day, but no decision was reached.
