MORE TROUBLE AT BLACKBALL.
ANOTHER STRIKE PROBABLE.
By Telegraph—Preas Association* GREYMOUTH, December 22.
The miners at Blackball are very much discontented over the recent award made by the Arbitration Court on the pillar rate which came into lorce on the 14th instant. The price paid under the old award was 2s 4d a ton and the new award reduces it to 2s 2d.
The matter has been referred to the Miners' Federation and the Blackball miners trust that it will uphold them in refusing to work under the altered conditions. The general opinion is that the New Year will witness another strike.
