THREATENED COAL STRIKE
DENIALS FROM WESTPORT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Westport, Last Night. Mr. Jonathan Dixon, district superintendent to the Westport Coal Company, ■was in Westport yesterday. Seen iby a representative of the Westport News with regard to the report from the North Island of impending trouble in coal mining, Mr. Dixon -said he knew of nothing of the kind. So far as this district was concerned, the report tiad apparently arisen from the fact that the unions hatt severed their connection with the Arbitration Court. This action, he under■■•stood, was due to a belief on the part of the men that they could get better terms by acting directly with their ployers than by placing their disputes before the Arbitration Court. There was no trouble in this district as far as hia was aware. Satisfactory agreements were being made with the men employed by his company. He had heard of no trouble or probable trouble on the Coast. There was nothing to justify the unrest as far as he was aware.
