COAL STRIKE ENDS
Men To Resume Work Today DISPUTE REFERRED TO COMMITTEE MINER REINSTATED IN MEANTIME The strike at the Linton coal mine at Ohai ended yesterday and work will be resumed today. An immediate attempt is to be made to settle the dispute between the company and the Nightcaps District Miners’ Union over the recent dismissal of a trucker.
The following proposals submitted yesterday by the company were accepted by the union:—
(1) Work must be resumed immediately. (2) The employee concerned to be reinstated only pending a settlement of the dispute by the central disputes committee, which is to meet immediately, the decision of this committee to be accepted as final. The strike arose over the dismissal of a trucker last week. The men held a stop-work meeting on Thursday to discuss the case and decided not to return to work until the man was reinstated, the action of the men at the Linton mine being endorsed at a general meeting of the union on Sunday. As a result of the strike the mine was idle on four working days.
