COAL-MINE IDLE.
DISPUTE ON WEST COAST. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Greymouth, Last Night. There is a stoppage of work at the State collieries, due to a difference between the men in the Morgan seam and the management over the knocking-off time. The management wishes to enforce a rule that work should continue till 3.40 p.m., allowing 20 minutes for walking about half a mile to the .pit mouth. The miners claim the custom established under the national agreement of allowing half an hour should not be discontinued. When the miners turned up to-day to work they were told there would !be no work in any seam till the union gave a written guarantee that work in the Morgan seam would continue till 3.40 p.m. The men returned to their homes and the deadlock remains.
