THE BLACKBALL STRIKE.
BY TEIi'SOIWPH- I'ItESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, April 14. Referring to the recent developments in connection with the Blackball miners dispute, the Minister for Mines (Hon. Mr McGowan) this morn- 1 ing informed a press representative that the law must be carried out. "The men may adopt a certain stand and believe they are within their rights," Mr McGowan said, "but the fine must be paid. Of that there is no possible doubt. It is at present impossible to say what the developjnents of the future will be, but the law must be paramount, and must be carried out. No Government can passively stand by and see the law defied. The public are apt to be hasty and clamour for an immediate settlement of a rather complex situation. This is not a matter, however, which can be rushed through. It may be taken for granted that the Government will do ;what is right in the Blackball case, and the first thing is to collect r this money; and what is more there is no doubt that the Government will do it."
