THE COAL TROUBLE.
SUGGESTED MEANS OF SETTLEMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Jan. 15. The Under-Secretary of the Mines Department, at the request of Mr. Massey, investigated the allegations of victimisation by the Blackball Miners’ Union, and reports that the company offered to re- | instate Anuds McLaggan on the understanding that the case was not to form a precedent. Regarding the case of Henderson, a trucker discharged in November for using bad language to the deputy, the report states that the evidence* of the deputy to whom language was used indicated that he was not altogether free from blame. It was stated at the inquiry that if Henderson was reemployed all the deputies would resign. The deputies had taken up Henderson’s case apparently with the object of stopping the use of abusive language against I themselves, It seemed impossible to I come to a definite conclusion, but it did appear that such differences should be settled locally by the union, and the management or by seeking the intervention of the Magistrate’s Court ?
