NO COALMINING STRIKE
THE UNION AND THE COURT.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, January i).
Mr. Sempie. cx-presuTent of the Miners' Union, says rumours of a big coalminers strike are absolutely without foundation. The cancellation of the union's registration is designed to prevent, not cause trouble. Alter the Blackball strike, the parties appeared before the Court, and an award was made which proved ver\ unsatisfactory to the miners. It was hinted by the judge that this award would be the basis for all awards to follow. Had this been done no power 011 earth could have averted a strike. To obviate any possibility of an extension of the operation of the award general cancellation liatf Leen decided on. Since then an entirely satisfactory agreement had been reached at Buller. Nothing was further from the miners' minds than a general strike. The federation was brought into existence to prevent strikes, and to prevent war—by being ready for it.
