TROUBLE AT KAITANGATA.
(BT m,EBRATH.—fRBSS ASSOCIATION.)
DUNEDIN, 18th January.
Another "stop-work" meeting was held at the Kaitangata, mine this morning at 7 o'clock. The result was practically the same as at the meeting lield the previous morning. ■ The meeting finished at 7.20, when, the management refused to allow, the men to take their laimps, and,the mine is consequently -idle. The same men who worked yesterday wcjit down the mine-again to-day, and the'unionists l-esc-nt the attitude taken up by these mon in not adhering- to the strict principle of unionism... The management, on the other hand, is not willing, to prevent these men from continuing work if they so desire. ' .
The matter has now developed into a lock-out, and there seems no hope of an «a;rly_ settlement. Another "stop-work" meeting has been arranged for to-morrow morning. In the meantime steps aTe being taken to interview the men who are working, with the object of persuading them to join their fellow unionists. If this proves abortive it is difficult to say where the -iwitter will. end.
