THE LABOUR AGITATION
A MINERS' DIFFICULT?. (UNITED PRES3 ASSOCIATION.) Greysiouth, June 29. Mr Martin Kennedy, the Managing Director of the Grey Valley Coal Company, and the Bruuuerton miners have been parleying regarding the price of hewing coal for the past two days, but without result. So far, the proceedings have not been made known. Greymotjth, June 30. Mr Newton, President of the Grey Valley Miners Association states that the ■ meeting held on Saturday evening to discuss Mr Kennedy's proposal was too thinly attended to warrant it arriving at any decision. It was decided that no action be taken respecting Mr Kennedy's proposal until there is an idle day, when all the miners would be represented. A general meeting is expected during the week. The general feeling is that the miners will refuse to go back to the old system, and will allow the mines to be closed if the Company like. It is also understood that m such a cass all surface . hands will receive notice and the mines be closed.
