BLACKBALL MINERS' STRIKE
It will be remembered that some time ago the miners at Blackball ceased work because tho employers refused to meet the demands of the bin-boys for increased payments. The men were prosecuted for a breach of the Arbitration. Act, but the case was dismissed, the Magistrate holding that tho agreement under which the men were working was not valid. Fresh proceedings are now beinpf instituted under the Labour Disputes Investigation Act, which applies to industrial bodies, which are not bound by awards or agreements. The case will be heard towards the end of this month.
