Basic Wage Rise Withheld From Northern Miners
Sydney reports the Coal Industry Tribunal withheld a ten shilling weekly wage increase for miners in the Northern District due to ongoing strikes at El Hngton Colliery. The tribunal granted increases for miners in other U S W districts and in Victoria and Queensland. The Elrington strikers were urged to return to work or risk delaying gains, with the alternative of accepting agitation by radical or political actors and jeopardizing the industry. If Elrington miners return before the 10 shilling increase applies, the north area may still pursue the increase after a 15 pay period.
