A decision ngaiu.it the men lias been so von by the national disputes' '■ommittcp which has boon inquiring into fho Pukcmiro mine dispute, which lod to the recent strike in the Waikalo Held.
A report on the committee's findin.!;.-, igned by the- chairman, Mr. •iohn Dowgray, and issued in Auckland this afternoon, states that, the decision of the committee is that, if the miners in the Taupiri section during the pay period ended August had not deliberately reduced their production as compared with the previous pay period, and the average of ihe places during the previous quarter, some of them would have had an unanswerable claim for the minimum wage in the event of their earnings being less than that minimum; but by their own action they forfeited their right under the agreement since they did not try to earn what they could have earned, and therefore the manager of the mine was justified in his refusal to make up the earnings.
The decision of the committee was unanimous.
