INTERNATIONAL MINERS' CONGRESS By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Amsterdam, July 10. The International Miners' Congress passed resolutions favoring the nationalisation of all land, railways and mines, and a live days' week in the mines. THE FRENCH STRIKE. Received 12, 12.20 a.m. Paris, July 11. The dockers at Havre have resumed work, believing that their pecuniary assistance to the seamen is more valuable than a sympathetic strike. THE NEW ZEALAND STRIKES. APPEAL TO NEW SOUTH WALES. Received 12. 12.20 a.m. Sydney. July 11. A meeting of the Labor Council's executive reported that a letter had been received from the Wellington Council to the effect that the Waihi and Reefton men had made a mistake in striking, and that they were not prepared to assist the New "Zealand Federation of Labor or issue an appeal to affiliated unions for assistance, believing that the system of warfare was unsuitable in the Dominion.
One delegate said that of four Labor Councils in New Zealand it was strange that only one was consulted. Whether the men made a technical mistake or not he would support them.
Another said that when workers were seeking more wages and shorter hours they were never wrong. The executive stated that it was seeking further information from the Auckland Council.
A proposal to make an immediate appeal to the unions for assistance was negatived.
