ORDERS FOR COAL MINES
SAFEGUARDS AT HUNTLY MESSAGES TO GOVERNMENT [by telegraph—own correspondent] HUNTLY, Thursday A feeling of apprehension exists among Huntly miners following the reported visit of a large deputation from northern coal mines to interview the Prime Minister at Wellington. The general opinion is expressed that any additional coal orders which may be given by the Government to Hikurangi will be at the expense of mines in this district, and, although a number of dismissals have already been issued at some of the mines, it is feared that the position will bo further aggravated. A telegram has been sent to the Prime Minister from the Mayor of Huntly, Mr. W. C. E. George, as follows:—One hundred and fifty miners received dismissal notices here last week, and more are pending. We urge that any concession granted to northern miners should not be at the expense of the Waikato mines. A similar telegram has also been forwarded by Mr. G. A. Shaw, secretary of the Huntly Business Men's Association.
