Internal dissension among the miners who operate the Balmain Colliery, nGar Sydney, under an agreement with the 'liquidators of the original company ■continues to make the mine a scene of Gilbertian tactics.

The black ban aimed at preventing any but the disgruntled miners’ own friends from being engaged. - The manager, however, de•'clines to accept dismissal, and the liquidators support him, considering ‘ that.he is the most capable man for the job. ", ’ " : " The mine'has been the centre of disputes for more than a year between; sections of the employees, and several times it has been .put on the black list by one party to coerce the other. Apr/’t from the surface staff the.pit is at present idle,; and no coal has been produced for three months.
