MINERS ' TROUBLES.

The Wheelers' Strike. TTNITKD PBKBB ASSOCIATION By Blectrio Telegraph.— Copyright Sydney, January 6. Pending the decision of the Arbitration Court; the coal owners are taking no steps beyond asking the miners to do their own wheeling; The co-opera-tive colliery has been shut down. Among the steamers stuck up for coal is the Union Coy's Waipori. The Arbitration Court, on the applica- ; tion of the Northern Colliery Proprie- > tors 1 Association, ordered the wheelers on strike to return to work, fixing the '< penalty of the infringement of the order . at £250 if committed by the Northern 1 Employes' Federation and £5 if com- ; mitted by an ivdividual employee. 1 The Glebe colliers are idle to-day, and ; it is believed locally that the wheelers will ignore the Court's decision.
