Per Press Association. THAMES, May 10. I At the Conciliation Court evidence was given by Mr O'Keefe, ex-president of the Union, to the effect that in three years the Union had disbursed nearly £4OOO out of the fund to miners meeting with accidents. He stated that it was unfair, that the companies v should have the power of terminating the contract each month if; the price was too high. He approved of the present demands, and said that union wages, if agreed to, would give a decided impetus to mining, because better men would be available. This would lead to the introduction of further capital.
