WORKING FLOODING.
(By Telegraph—Per Frees Association)
WHANGAREI, August 27

A conference i s being held at Auckland this afternoon between the miners’ representatives and the company directors. In the meantime the workings are flooding very rapidly. Even if a settlement of the dispute is 'reached at once, the dewatering of the m ne and the replacing of the gear will prove costly operations, and much delay will be inevitable before the extraction of coal can recommence.
