THE BLACKBALL STRIKE.
BY TELEGRAPH —PEESS ASSOCIATION. GREYMOUTH, March 20. The miners held a meeting at Blackball, this afternoon, but nothing of a definite nature was done. Mr Fitzgerald attended the meetI ing and addressed the miners, advising them not on any account to give way. The manager was interviewed in reference to the paragraph appearing in the evening paper as follows: "There seems to be some possibility of an early settlement of the dispute, as the company has offered (one of th? men now on strike informs us) in addition to the offers made after the close of the sitting of the Arbitration Court to donate half of the £75 fine inflicted on the Union." The manager gives the statement that the company have offered to pay half the fine an emphatic denial. He does not know where it originated, but the company are no party to it. The company is prepared to take the dismissed men back, and allow the twenty minutes crib time. Further than this they will not go. The I Union will hold a meeting on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and until then there can be no change in the position.
