PUKEMIRO MINE
UNION DOES NOT COMPLETE
BALLOT.
<BI TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
AUCKLAND, Bth October. The Pukemiro mine was again idle today. The union was engaged in completing a ballot on the question of whether the men should resume work, when word came that the Coal-mine Owners' Association had withdrawn the latest offer. This was followed by an instruction from the Miners' Federation cancelling the previous instructions regarding the holding of a ballot, and advising the union that the matter had now been referred to the whole of the coal-mining unions of the Dominion. The ballot was therefore not completed.
The general opinion in Huntly to-day was that but for the sudden decision of the coal-owners the ballot would have .resulted in favour of the men resuming operations.
Theer has been no further development In the negotiations between the Mine-owners' Association and the Miners' Federation.
