WORKING IN OTAGO,
OWNER REVIEWS POSITION. LARGE STOCKS IN HAND. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) DUNEDIX, this day. Largo stocks of coal are held in Dunedin, and, with the local mines all likely to continue working, no <r re at shortage ie anticipated. A leading 5 colliery owner said to-day that the trouble appeared to arise from the fact that the miners' leaders, in discussing terms for a new agreement, desired the old agreement to be the basis of discussion rather than the terme recently submitted by the coal owners.
Following the last effective agreement made by the Miners' District Council, conferences were held, and another agreement arrived at for the following two years. The documents were duly forwarded for ratification, but for some reason best known to tho miners' representatives they were never signed. In recent years great change* had taken place in the mining industry. A large number of small mines bad been opened up by a co-opera, five group, while others were working on the tributary system, all outside of Hie control of the District Miners' Council.
