MAKING RAPID PROGRESS.
fUrirrxß Pbss3 Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
The Huntly secretary of the Waikato Miners' Union applied at the mine's office to-day for a copy of the pay dockets, to which he held he was entitled under section 100 of the C6al Mines Act. This was refused, on the grounds that the men were not now working under an arbitration award.
A circular issued by the organiser of the new union states that such rapid progress has been made that an agreement has been arrived at with the company whereby every man now starting work at the 'mines has to sign on with the new union, and in a few weeks an award will have been arranged. The new union provides liberal accident and benefit funds, and legal methods of settling all disputes, in virtue of which it i 3 in a position to compel the Coal Company not to recognise any other union.
