Two Huntly Mimes Remain Idle
(Special) HUNTLY, This Day. Workers at the Glen Afton and MacDonald Mines have decided to lemain idle until the dispute over a screen-hand has reached a satisfactory settlement. The management of the MacDonald Mine has been requested to remove the other work a 19-year-old screen-hand who has become entitled to higher pay and replace him with another youth of the same age as a younger screen-hand.
The request has been refused as the employers contend that they have the right to place workers where they are of most benefit.
The men went home after slopwork meetings had concluded at 9.45 yesterday morning. '
