THE BLACKBALL MINERS STRIKE.
BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION. HICKEY AT DENNISTON.
STRIKE SUGGESTION NOT SUPPORTED.
WESTPORT, March 16. Hickey, one of the dismissed Blackball miners, and now a delegate, addressed a meeting of miners at Denniston last night. The men decided to subscribe to the funds to assist towards the maintenance of the women and children at Blackball. It is unlikely that the trouble at Blackball will affect the regular working of the -mines in the Westport district. A suggestion made at the meeting that the miners should lay down their tooh did not meet with any support whatever.
GREYMOUTH, March 16. At a meeting of the Miners Union, at Blackball, it was decided to stand firm. The Denniston Union has voted £SO to assist the strikers. GREYMOUTH, March 16. There is no change in the position of affairs at Blackball. The State coal miners are determined nut to take part in the trouble, and express themselves very much against the attitude of the Blackball men. At Tyneside the question is not considered, the men blaming the agitators for the trouble.
