MINERS' UNION FINED.
CAUSED STRIKE AT BULLER. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WESTPORT, Wednesday. At the Magistrate's Court this morning the Denniston Miners' Union was found guilty of a breach of the Labour Disputes Investigation Act, 1913, in respect of a strike at Cascade, the Westport Coal Company's mine, and fined £15 and costs. The action was brought by the Inspector of Awards. The strike took place on May 18, and the unionists have been out ever since, although a cooperative party has been working the mine during this period. The employ-, ment of the co-operative party along with unionists was primarily the cause of the strike. Unionists at Cascatde are members of the Denniston Miners' Union. The Cascade mine has been open only about eight months.
