BLACKBALL MINES.
REOPEN TO-MORROW. A SETTLEMENT EFFECTED. [by TELEGRAPH.—PRESS association.] OnEYMOUTH, Wednesday. Negotiations for the opening of the Blackball mines proved successful to-day, when it was decided to reopen on Friday morning. The only items in the dispute are the questions of working pillars and trucking. Mines other than Blackball pay 2s, while the Blackball Company pays 2s 2d. The directors want to be in line with other mines, and have decided to reduce the rate to 2s. This was not agreed to. Eventually a compromise was effected, the men to receive 2s Id when work is recommenced. Only arbitration labour is to be employed.
