After working the Waro coal mine, at Hikurangi, as a co-operative party, thirteen miners had a disagreement with the committee of management, appointed by themselves. It is said that the cause of the trouble is > a dispute over the wages, which the miners claim to be insufficient.
The miners refused to start work yesterday, and they threatened withdraw the safety men if their demands were not met. The committee of management responded with a threat to begin to remove the pumps and other gear from the mine at four o’clock this afternoon if the miners failed to resume. The threat was duly put into execution, and it is expected that the pumps will he out of the. mine at eight o’clock tonight and that the mine will then be definitely abandoned. About one hundred men are affected.
