WORK AND WAGES.
THE HUNTLY DISPUTE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Friday. The secretary of the Waikato Miners' Union applied at the Mines Office today for a copy of the pay dockets, to which the miners held they were entitled under section 100 of the Coal Mines Act. This was refused, on the ground that the men were not now working under the arbitration award. A circular issued by the organiser of the new union states that such rapid progress has been made that an agreement has been arrived at with the company, whereby every man now starting work at the mines has to sign on with the new union, and in a few weeks the award will have been arranged. The new union provides liberal accident and benefit funds, and legal methods of settling all disputes, in virtue of which it i« in a position to compel the Coal Company not to recognise any other union.
