QUIET AT KALGOORLIE.
Mines to Re-open To-day, When Men Will Return. KALGOORLIE, February 4. Everything is quiet on the goldfields. The miners agreed, at a mass meeting, to return to work on Monday on receiving an assurance from the Chamber of Mines that unnaturalised foreigners would not be employed at the mines. The men’s demand for preference for unionists was not granted. This has been consistently refused since 1919. The percentage of foreigners formerly employed in the mines was about ten, but only about five per cent are not naturalised. The foreigners, and their families, who fled to the bush are now returning to Kalgoorlie and Boulder. They appear confident of their safety and are receiving aid from the police, charitable organisations and municipal authorities. Normal trading will begin on Monda y.
