Last Minute Warning to Miners by Acting Prime Minister
Canberra February 1 Acting Prime Minister A W Fadden warned miners that the government would act against any stoppages on coal fields. He said leaders should know before their central council meeting tomorrow what steps would be taken. If stoppages occurred the government would seek a special sitting of the Commonwealth Court in Sydney and issue a summons to central executive members to show cause why they should not be dealt with for breaching a law obedience undertaking tied to their release from imprisonment in 1949.
