WORK RESUMED.
MINES DISPUTE REFERRED TO COMMITTEE. By Telegraph—Presa Association DUNEDIN, April 30. Advice was received in Dunedin today that work was resumed at the Denniston mine on Monday. The mine was closed down on Easter Saturday, owing to a dispute between the company and the Miners Union, as a consequence of which the men ceased work. The dispute related to employment in the power-house, the Union holding that the men must be paid not less than a full days’ wage whether they worked a full day or not. Work has been resumed on the understanding that the matter will be referred to the Disputes Committee for settlement. As the wages paid at the
mine average anything from £4OO to £SOO per day, and as work was stopped at the mine on April 4th, some idea may be gained of the loss to the miners and the community generally.
