MINE TROUBLE ENDED.

RESUMPTION AT HIKURANGI. SETTLEMENT BY COMPROMISE DISCHARGED MAN REINSTATED. AWARD AGREEMENT UNAFFECTED A settlement of the strike at Wilsons Collieries, Hikurangi, has been effected. All the miners have resumed work. The managing director of the company, Mr. R. E. Williams, visited the district and completed the negotiations for a settlement on the basis of a compromise. He informed the Auckland representatives of the company by telegraph yesterday afternoon that the local union's letter referring to the position was satisfactory, and that the men would resume work at midnight. Both parties in the end exercised the spirit of conciliation, and conditions now are as they were before the strike. The man over whose dismissal the strike was declared by the union will be reinstated. The new industrial agreement, which came into operation on June 2 last, was not the cause of tho dispute and deadlock, so there has been no alteration oi its terms. The strike lasted 21 days, and has proved expensive for all concerned.
