WORK AND WAGES.
THE GREEN ISLAND STRIKE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. A meeting of representatives of the miners in the Green Island district was held to-night to consider the position in regard to the dispute at Christie's mine, a resolution being unanimously passed pledging the meeting to stand solidly by the men on strike, and to take every step necessary to get relief for the men concerned. Mr. Ridd, secretary of the Otago Coal Miners' Union, states that if the dispute does not very quicklv come to a head the New Zealand Federation of Labor will take charge, and all the m<ni in the Green Island district would stand by their advice, and if they said "Down tools," there would not be a pick raised. The employers are standing by thpir determination not to go baek on their position.
