MORE TROUBLE. (PRESS ASSOCIATION" TELEGRAM.) GREYMOUTH, March 21. After a meeting of the Miners' Union at the State collieries this morn, ing, it was announced that there would be no work to-morrow. It is understood that the deadlock among the men themselves still exists. The Paparoa mine was idle yesterday and to-day, the trouble being over a driver of a horse refusing to obey orders to drive. He alleged that the horse was offensively diseased ; and he walked out of the mino on Friday last, and did not present himself at work on the next day, alleging that it was a regular holiday. He had since been informed that he had "been discharged. The Miners' Union has taken the matter up.
