BLACKBALL MINE
DISPUTE ENDED. STATEMENT BY MR BISHOP. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, June 25. Replying to Mr McLaglan, Mr Bishop, secretary to the Coal Mine Owners’ Association, says the” Blackball Company has no quarrel with unionism as such. There is no attack by the company upon unionists. There was a dispute between the company and the union as to working number three dip section of the mine. On February 16 Mr McLaglan was told the terms upon which the company was prepared to carry on work in that section, and failing acceptance the section would be stopped. The company’s terms were rejected by Mr McLaglan, and the section has now been stopped, and the stoppage is permanent. The dispute has therefore been ended. The company hopes to develop number two dip section and is inviting tenders for the necessary work. There is nothing to prevent members of the Blackball Union submitting tenders. ===========
