MINES IDLE
LIVERPOOL AND ROA. TWO OTHERS SHORT STAFFED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) , GREYMOUTH, June 10. The Liverpool mine did not produce any coal today, as three-quarters of the men did not go into the mine because of heavy rain when they arrived at the bath-house. About 240 decided to return home, contending that they would be wet through in going from the bath-house to the mine mouth, about a quarter of a mile away. The remaining 80' men went to work and were employed in various odd jobs underground. The Strongman and James State mines were also short-staffed today, but not to the same extent as the Liverpool, and coql was produced as usual in those mines. The Roa mine of the Paparoa Coal Mining Company, Limited, was idle yesterday and again today, but will resume work tomorrow. The stoppage was because the company was requested to employ a certificated enginedriver to operate the hoist which conveys the employees of the mine from Paparoa to Middle Flat. No certificated engine-driver was immediately available, and, pending arrangements being made, ihe mine lost two days’ work.
