[PRESS ASSOCIATION.] DENNISTON MINE TROUBLE.
NO SETTLEMENT YET. WESTPORT, 11th April. The deadlock at the Westport Coal Company's Denniston mines continues, attempts to come to an amicable settlement to-day proving abortive. The union maintains that firemen have been employed for the last four or live years, and it has only lately been decided to do away with them. They consider it unsafe for a man to be in charge of engines at night with no one else in attendance. Another meeting is being held tomorrow. Mr. Dowgray, a member of the executive of the Federation of Labour, is proceeding to Denniston in the morning to try to arrange an amicable settlement of the matter in dispute.
