MINING STRIKE
AT HIKURANGI
."ELEMENTS OF SERIOUS
TROUBLE."
The strike of miners at Hikurangi has not yet been settled, and it is probable that the Miners' Federation will be interesting itself in the trouble unless steps are taken to bring it to a satisfactory ending. <
It is alleged on the men's behalf that there has been victimisation in connection with notices given to several employees at Foot and Doel's mine, and at the end of last week all of the miners at Hikurangi, comprising over one hundred men, came out in- sympathy with the other memberß of the local union involved in the trouble. The Northern District Conncil of the Miners' Federation has recommended the' Hikurangi strikers to return to work and declare Foot and Doel's mine "black," but no information has so far been received hers as to whether this advice has been acted upon. • ' ' ' • Mr. P. O'Rourke, secretary of the Miners' Federation, stated to-day that his organisation would exert every effort to secur 6 justice t,o the men concerned, and that the tactics of the mine owners would not be taken lying down. "There are all the elements of serious trouble in this dispute unless it is fixed up satisfactorily," declared Mr. O'Rourke.
