A STRIKE PROBABLE.
. TROUBLE AT STATE MINE EXTENSION WORKS. By Telegraph—Press Association. GREYMOUTH, May 13. There is every prospect of a strike at the State mine extension works. The authorities last week dismissed three men from the tunnel works without giving any reason and a meeting of the Union was held on Saturday night, when the following resolution was carried:—"Tint if the three men were not reinstated pending an inquiry the Union would give the district engineer 21 days' notice of their intention to cease work." It was decided that the president and secretary, Mr Fry, interview the district engineer with a view to ascertaining in an honourable settlement of the dispute could not be arrived at. They several interviews with him, but these were of no avail, so yesterday morning, acting on the instructions of the meeting of the Union on Saturday they attended at the Public Works Office and served Mr Lewis with a formal notice that the men would cease work in 21 days from that date if the three not reinstated. The secretary of the Union states that the engineer has no fault to find wich the work done by the men, but complained of the way they spent their money after earning it.
