The miners decided to hold a stop work meeting yesterday to look into the matter, and it was for this reason that tho mines were idle. The meeting yesterday reach- ; ed a satisfactory settlement, it is under stood. Tlie facts of the case are that there lias been no work since Friday last at the No. 3 mine, Liverpool Colliery. Thi.s was owing to the shift men having - had an hour’s pay deducted for j coining out of the mine an hour earlier than usual on a pay Saturday, (June ! 7th). They were unable to secure a refund, on requesting it, but they also * objected to the condition of No. 3 mine, ! which two of the.mine inspectors, on j their usual visit on June 12t.h had. re-1 ported to have its main roadways in! bad condition. On Monday the major- ! ity of the No. 3 mine turned o::,t and! offered to go in and do repairs, but stated they would hew no coal, owing to ! the mine being in a had state. The j Manager replied that they must hew ; : coal ,and consequently no work was j done. Next day tlie Inspector of j ‘ Mines visited No. 3, and reported it to j :

be in a safe condition. At yesterday’s meeting, the whole of the facts were placed before the miners and after discussion, it was decided that work should be resumed to-day.—“ Argus.” On Thursday, June 19th, McGruer and Co. commence their Winter Sale.
