WAIKATO MINES
ONE REMAINS IDLE (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, August 23. All mines in the Waikato worked this morning, except Pukemiro, where a pit-head meeting of mmets was held during the morning. The men went home after 11.30 a.m. It is understood that the trouble is among th® men themselves and does not involve the m Tl?e Be Rotowaro and Alison mines, which were idle yesterday, resumed work after the men held short meetings No work had been done at Rotowaro since Friday, when the men went out through a dispute over the rates of pay for separating fire clay and stone from hewn coal. Suggestions by the management put forward earlier in the week were unacceptable to tne miners, but variations of these suggestions were approved by the rank and file this morning on the recommendation of the workers’ delegates The special tribunal which spent Monday and yesterday hearing evidence on the Pukemiro coalmine disput, caused by a dismissed trucker, spent this morning finishing its inquiry.
