PEACE PROCLAIMED.
There should have been no need for the men at the Greymouth State mine to ask for treatment similar to that meted out to their fellows, and when the trouble arose the Minister of -M ines'should at once have offered to bestow on the dissatisfied and exceptionally treated men the same treatment as the man in the Sedflon State mine received, says the "Oamaru Mail." It is possible that if the men who struck had been placed on a footing with their fellows, not only in the other State mine> but als>o in the other mines, . I they would have been satisfied. ; To give men an excuse for rebellion is most impolitic; and'the/lelay to adjust the difference which arose was as injurious as it was unfair. Perhaps the Minister has some explanation to offer for his omissiofj, but to us it is inexplicable.
