Sunday, A special general meeting of the Waihi Miners' Union was held this morning to consider the report of tho delegates on the terms offered by the mine owners for a new industrial agreement at the conference held between the parties on Thursday and Friday. After a lengthy discussion it was unanimously decided not to entertain the proposals put forward by the employers in their present form. The decision will necessitate a second conference, and a further special meeting of the union to consider any variation that may be reached, should tho owners think fit to revise the terms in any way.
