THE BLACLBALL STRIKE.
1/ Old Hamds tired of the [/ Strike.
Grkymouth, March 17
Strike matters at Blackball are very quiet, and yesterday a large number of the miners attended the Grey races. The manager reports no change in the position, and he is only waiting developments. A miner, speaking to an Argus reporter, stated that the old hands are tired of the strike, and if the question of resuming work was taken by ballot, instead of open it would be decided in favour of ending the strike. No one likes to take the stand, and. so the deadlock continues. Mr Pritchard leaves for Christchurch in the morning to canvass for support for the Unions. Mr Guinness, M.P., spent the day in Blackball yeterday, with the executive of the Union. He states that the men are very determined to insist on the halfhour “ crib ” being allowed before they resume work. The miners are waiting to see what success the delegates have with the Unions before. deciding on any other further course of action.
