"GO-SLOW" POLICY.
--'" ADOPTION :AT KIRIPAKA. MINE TO-BE CLOSED. DECISION OF THE COMPANY. The "go-slow" policy has been again adopted by the men employed at the Kiripaka mine, this action following the visit paid to the mine by the president of the Federated Miners last week. Discussing the matter yesterday, the managing director of the Northern Coal Company, Mr. W. D. Holgate, said that in addition to the adoption of the policy, several shift miners had left, although they were receiving the high rate paid to coalminer? in New Zealand. In consequence of the- miners' decision, the direci tors had decided to close the Kiripaka , mine at Christmas, and did not intend to resume work there again until the men ' were prepared to give a " fair, honest, and square deal." ! The " go-slow*' policy was first put into ; operation at the Kiripaka mine, on Sep- . tember 8, and on the following Monday the mine was closed down by the directors. The mine remained idle until Sep- . tember 22, when work was resumed under normal conditions.
