THE COAL TROUBLE.
A SOLUTION SUGGESTED. A TRIBUNAL TO ENQUIRE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The Mayor, Mr. Gunson, has telegraphed to the Premier as follows: "I suggest for your consideration that the following be submitted to the parties concerned for the immediate settlement of the coal miners' dispute:- j -(l) The miners' demands as to wages and conditions to be referred to a special tribunal of Ave members, whose decision shall be accepted by both the miners and owners. * (2) The special tribunal shall consist of two persons appointed by the miners and two persons appointed by the owner!, none of whom shall be directly concerned in the dispute.- These shall appoint a fifth member, who shall be Chairman, and if they fail to make such an appointment the Government shall appoint such fifth member, who shall not be directly concerned in the dispute. The Government shall defray the cost. (3) The miners to abandon the "go-slow" policy and forthwith produce the maximum output." The Mayor adds that this would overcome the difficulties facing the Government, the owners and the miners. "The position in Auckland is such that I trust the matter may be arranged immediately." he concludes.
