TROUBLE AT GLENAETON
Auckland, October 21. The miners employed at the Glcnafton collieries in the Waikato district, ceased work yesterday morning, and were nut again today. Over 300 men are affected. This action was taken to enforce certain demands made on the owners Ihi' New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company. Some of the minor demands have been conceded, i ;i il the company declined to consider the major point nt issue until work was resumed. This the men have agreed to do, and work will hr- resumed to-morrow morning. Consideration will he given to other points on Monday, when the owners will meet the men’s representatives. The main point at issue is that the union wants miners to he drafted from truckers. Under the award, two truckers are allowed to go on coal each quarter. The men wish the company to agree that any miners who may he employed as truckers are to go on coal in their turn, as vacancies occur. This the company cannot agree to, as it would mean that the management could not engage any outside men if there were any miners employed as truckers.
