THE WAIHI MINERS.
PRESIDENT O’KEEFE RESIGNS.
THAMES, February 8.
A meeting of the Executive of the Thames Miners’ Union declined to approve of the action of President Michael O’Keefe in asking for the removal of Judge Cooper, President of the Arbitration Court. When before the Minister of Mines, O’Keefe stated that the miners had no confidence in Judge Cooper, and made aspersions on His Honor’s fairness, alleging that he was influenced on the employers’ side. The Executive declined to sanction a requisition from the Waihi branch for grants of £SO each to their leaders before the Court, as these men drew a guinea per day. At the conclusion of the meeting Mr O’Keefe resigned his position as president. The meeting lasted twelve hours.
