MINERS AND COAL OWNERS
CITATION OF LOCAL UNIONS “ARBITRATION COURT WILL NOT BE RECOGNISED” The irejoinder of the New Zealand. Miners’ Federation to the recent action of the coal-mine owners in citing the local unions to appear before the Arbitration Court is presumably contained in the following resolution passed by the federation conference yesterday:— , This conference now decides that under no consideration whatever will the Arbitration Court be recognised. The Miners’ Federation, it will he remembered, has been opposed to the making of local awards or agreements in the industry. The agreement which recently expired was o. national one. The AVe-atland unions have been cited to meet the employers in Conciliation Council on July 20. Dates for tho sittings of Conciliation Councils at Christchurch and Auckland havo not been fixed yet, but the Dunedin sitting is to bo held on August 4. It is possible, of course, that the parties may meet privately before the dates fixed for the conciliation sittings. The miners’ unions have been invited to private conferences, and it is understood that, though no union has yet accepted the invitation, none has definitely refused.
