ADDITIONAL MINE WORKERS
INCREASE AT KAMO
COLLIERY
(P.A.) Whangarei, Jan. 11. The number of men employed at the State coal mine at Kamo will be increased to 165 tomorrow, when 45 former Hikurangi miners commence work. The Kamo mine was taken over by the State last Monday and on Friday a discussion was held between the mine manager, Mr J. Hadcroft, and delegates from the Miners’ Union regarding arrangements for the employment of the former Hikurangi miners. At first these men will be employed chiefly on construction work until the coal face is opened sufficiently to allow their employment on coal production. The trucking arrangements are to be reorganised with the installation of more machinery so that an increased output can be handled.
