NEW UNION AT REEFTON.
REEFTON, Tuesday. The negative result of Sunday's meeting crystallised the movement long pending of the formation of a new union in the Inangahua mining district. Already fifty miners' names have been handed in, and a meeting is to be called at an early date to elect officials. Rules and regulations have already beeu drawn up. The question at issue is: Can the now union bo registered under the Arbitration Act? The promoters have taken legal advice, and have stated that this is possible. The union is the result of grave dissatisfaction with the dilatory attempts at a settlement of the difficulty and objections to the methods of the union.
Interviewed regarding the formation of a new union, Mr Fagan, secretary of the Miners' Union, states that the new union does not consist of miners; moreover, it is impossible to register while the Miners' Union is under the Arbitration Act, and he regards it as a threat of men holding no weight.
