OHAI MINE DESPUTE
WAGES CLAIM CONSIDERED P.A. INVERCARGILL, Friday. A* claim by truckers of the Linton mine at Ohai for an increase in wages was considered at a sitting of the Coal Mines Council at Nightcaps to-day Representatives of tne truckers and the company were heard, and the sitting will be concluded on Monday. The raajority of the men employed at the mine did not report for work this morning, and it was impossible to work the mine with those who did put in an appearance. It was the fourth consecutive day that the mine was idle. The miners ceased work on Tuesday as a protest against the failure of the manpower authorities to obtain truckers for the mine. Only three truckers arrived in the district on Thursday night to work at the mine, and this number was not considered sufficient by those miners who did not report for work. This morning it was expected that four or five truckers would arrive under manpower direction, and the miners had agreed that they would begin work if these were available.
