MINE STOPPAGE
INVESTIGATIONS AT OHA!, MINISTER NOT INTERFERING. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A statement that ST Labour Department officer was on the scene and would be reporting to him was made by the Minister of Labour, the Hon H. T. Armstrong, when asked yesterday whether he was taking any action in connection with the Ohai mining stoppage. Mr Armstrong said he was not contemplating personal intervention. “All the rest of the miners have a two-year agreement, and for some reason the employers there seem to prefer a separate agreement,” said Mr Armstrong. “As a general rule, it is the worker who wants a short-dated agreement, but I see no reason in the world why the employers should not fall into line with the rest of the mining companies.”
