QUIET WEEK-END ON COAL FIELD
RESUMPTION OF WORK TODAY EXPECTED (P.A.) AUCKLAND, September 28. After the announcement of the miners’ ballot result on Friday affirming the decision of the majority to return to work, the Waikato coalfield has had a normally quiet and uneventful week-end. The impression everywhere today is that the men will return to work tomorrow in conformity with the ballot decision and that they are not now much concerned about the detailed operation of State control of the mines or about the finer points of the original minimum wage dispute. Admittedly there is a possibility that the Pukemiro men may not follow the decision or accept the jurisdiction of the disputes’ committee. What they elect to do will not be revealed until after they have had an opportunity of a meeting at the pithead, but opinion inclines strongly to the view that the Pukemiro and all other mines will be found operating as usual tomorrow.
