BINS FULL
AT PAPAROA COAL MINE'. ONLY TEN DAYS WORK SINCE CHRISTMAS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, March ’lO. The Paparoa mine at Roa has worked about only 10 full days since before Christmas, the bins being full of coal. This is a result of lack of orders. When the Minister of Mines, Mr W'ebb, was in the district recently, he promised to return within a fortnight to address the men or to send Mr C. H. Benney, Under-Secretary of Mines. Developments are still awaited. Meanwhile, under a new regulation, the company is required to pay the miners a minimum wage of £5 10s a week whether or not they are working. Six of the men have, with the permission of the manpower officer, obtained employment in other mines, thus relieving the position to a certain degree. Two each are now employed by Grey Valley Colleries, Brunner Collieries and the Blackball State mine.
