STATE MINERS’ STRIKE
FURTHER MASS MEETING TO BE HELD (P.A.) GREYMOUTH, July 19. A rather unexpected development in the dispute which has stopped work at the Strongman and Liverpool State mines, Runanga, since June 21, was the announcement this evening that a further mass meeting of all members of the State Miners’ Union would be held at Runanga to-i-iorrow. Asked to comment on the reasons for this meeting (the last mass meeting having been held on Sunday, when it was decided to continue the strike), the president of the union (Mr G. E. English) said that it was “due to a new development.” Because of this meeting the delegation consisting of Messrs English, R. H. Mitchell, and J. Harrington, which was to commence a tour of the Buller district mines to-morrow, will not now leave until the decision of the meeting is known.
