THE MINING TROUBLE.
(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, August 4
The Acting-Premier, approached regarding the declaration re miners’ policy in opposition to local agreements by Mr. Arbuckle yesterday, “I cannot make any statement in regard to the general question,” said Sir Francis Beil. “I am only concerned so far as the Government mines might be affected. Outside them matters rest between the miners and the mine owners.”
Mr. Arbuckle, interveiewed by a “Times” reporter, said no miners’ union would be represented on the Conciliation Council proceedings. Should the Arbitration Court attempt to make an agreement or award, said Mr. Arbuckle, overriding the existing agreement, the miners were fully prepared to cease work. They would be prepared to fight for an extension of the present national agreement with such alterations as might be deemed advisable.
