A strong recommendation that the men of the MacDonald Mine should resume work to-morrow, was passed at a lengthy meeting of the executive of the Northern Miners’ Union, held to-day. No work has been done at the mine for several days, 200 men employed there having been idle as a result of a claim by one man for wettime payment.
