[FEOM Ot/B COKB-SPO-ttHSNT.] GREYMOUTH; March 23. Mr Hickey's mission to the Buller district ca.n he regarded as a partial failure. Though he was successful in obtaining financial aid, all the suggestions as to the strike were eoouted. The trouble therefore is likely to be confined to the Blackball colliery. A miners' meeting at Blackball this forenoon decided to adhere to the demand for half-an-hour's crib time, to rescind the motion offering to pay 2s 6d per month till the fine is paid off, and to refuse to pay the fine of £75. The time allowed by the Court for payment having expired to-day, the present position is that the Union will not return to work till the half-hour's crib time is | granted, and will refuse to pay the fine j of £75.
