WESTPORT, June ?. ’ Unless a difficulty which has arisen regarding the employment of a medical officer can be overcome, the miners of the Ngakawau-Stockton Medical Association may decide to down tools. The notice to Dr J. Simpson expires on June 17, and as he is not prepared, in keeping with the attitude of the 8.M.A., of which he is a member, 'to accept employment under the social security legislation, 500 miners may find themselves without a doctor.
