STATE MINERS.
Down Tools. The action of the State mine management in docking two men an hour or the occasion of the fan stoppings am refusing to have a fan attendant con slantly on the job, caused the Slab Miners to down tools until their grievances are rectified. In this action they are perfectly justified, even (he “Greymouth Evening Star,’’ stating that it was a case of ‘ ‘pin pricking’’ by tin. management. The, necessity for tinconstant attendance of the fan attendants on front and back shift should be apparent to anyone with the most elementary knowledge of coal mining. The-Middle Brake Mine is a very gassy .one and any neglect on the part of the management or any breakdown of the fan could have disastrous result"-. It is to be hoped that the State Mines Department who claim “Safety First'* as a guiding principle, will see the forc-c of the men’s attitude and gram their very necessary and reasonable request.
