STRIKERS ADVOCATE IN AUCKLAND. MEN ARE DETERMINED. BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, April 1. Mr Hickey, representing the Blackball miners on "strike," expressed himself highly satisfied with the results of his visit to Wellington, a large sum of money having been promised. He stated that the miners would continue on strike until the management yielded it demands or they were starved out.
ADDRESS BY MR HICKEY. AUCKLAND, April 1. Mr Hickey. the miners delegate from Blackball,addressed the Trades' and Labour Council to-night placing the men's case before them. He attacked the Wellington press, and said their accounts were most impartial, and they had made a most bitter and unjust attack on the Union. The men had not asked for an alteration in the crib time, and he challenged the press or the officials of the mine to produce any proof that they had done so. They had simply adhered to what was the general rule throughout the dominion. He declared the mine was shockingly ventilated, and complained of the method of inspecting mines. The Labour Council carried a resolution to afford moral and financial assistance to the strikers.
