ALL QUIET
POSITION AT KALGOORLIE MINES EXPECTED TO RESUME Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. KALGOORLIE, February 3. Everything is quiet on the goldfields. The miners agreed at a mass meeting to return to work on Monday on receiving an assurance from the Chamber of Mines that unnaturalised foreigners would not be employed in the mines, but the men’s demand for preference for unionists has not been granted. This has been consistently refused since 1919. The percentage of foreigners formerly employed in the mines was about 10, but only about 5 per cent, are unnaturalised. The foreigners and their families who fled to the bush are now returning to Kalgoorlie and Boulder City. They appear confident of their safety, and are receiving aid from the police and charitable organisations. The municipal authorities’ normal trading will begin on Monday.
