NO COALMINING STRIKE.
THE UNION AND THE COURT. -(By Tclecraph.—Press Association.) - Auckland; January 7. Mr. Semple,' ex'-president of the Miners' Union, says rumours of a big coalminers' strike are absolutely without foundation. The cancellation ot the union's registration" is designed to prevent, not cause, trouble. After the Blackball strike, tho parties appeared before the Court, and an-award was made which proved very unsatisfactory to the miners. It was hinted by the judge that this award would bo <the basis . for all awards to follow. Had this, been done no power on earth could have averted a strike. To obviate any -possibility of an. extension of the operation of the award.general cancellation had been decided on. Since .then an entirely satisfactory agreement had been reached "at Bullcr. Nothing was further from the miners'- minds than a general strike. Tho federation was brought into existence to prevent strikes, and to prevent war—by being ready for it.
