Australia's New Labor" Premier Opposes
Militant Strike

SYDNEY (By Inprecorr Mail
Service).-The miners union, the
mine owners association and the
9overnn emit Of New South Wales
have all refused to accept the order
Of the Federal Arbitration Court for
for the reopening Of the mines on
the old conditions whilst the Fed
eral government grants subsidy
Of nine pence per ton in order to
maintain wages. As there is compul-
sorry arbitration in Australia the
matter will now come before the
courts.
The attitude of the Labor Prime
Minister Scullins is typical Of what
may be expected from all labor
governments. After the armed po-
lice had shot down unarmed miners,
he addressed himself, not to the
murderers, but to the comrades OF
the murdered, with request that
they should refrain from violence.

After the mine owners and the
government of New South Wales
refused to obey the order of the
Federal arbitration court, Scullins
declared: despite the evil activity
Of a little group Of irresponsible
hotheads in the mining districts who
are encouraged by a number of peo-
pie in responsible positions, l am
convinced that the majority of the
miners want a quick settlement Of
the conflict without adopting radi-
cal and unlawful measures"
The unions oppose the suggestion
Of the Sydney Trades and Labor
Council in which the Communists
have considerably influence, that a
general strike of the miners should
be called in order to support the
New South Wales miners. Police
are still guarding the Rothbury
mines and the railway line in order
to ensure the transport of scab coal.

The Standard also says:
