WAIKATO MINES
EXPECTED NOW TO OPERATE AS USUAL FOLLOWING ON BALLOT DECISION. ONLY PUKEMIRO POSITION UNCERTAIN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, September 27. After the announcement of the miners’ ballot result on Friday, affirming the decision of the majority to return to work, the Waikato coalfield has had a normally quiet and uneventful weekend. The impression everywhere today is that the men will retuni to work tomorrow in conformity with the ballot decision and that they are not now much concerned about the detailed operation of State control of the mines, or about the finer points of the original minimum wage dispute. Admittedly there is a possibility that the Pukemiro men may not follow the decision or accept the jurisdiction of the disputes committee. What they elect to do will not be revealed till after they have had an opportunity of meeting at the pithead, but opinion inclines strongly to the. view that Pukemiro and all. the other mines will be found operating as usual tomorrow.
