FEELING OF BITTERNESS.
AT HUNTLY MINES
(By Telegraph.—Press AUCKLAND, Monday. I'oth mines are now working at lluntly. The Extended mines, in which operations were first recommenced, has now over 200 men at work underground, while 5:; miners, truckers, *»>''*- men, etc. resumed work in Ralph's mine this morning. As the total number of men usually employed in and about the two miues exceeds HOO, there is still a considerable shortage. Most of the miuers who were refused admission to the new union are leaving Huntlv and seeking work elsewhere, and their places in town are being taken by a number of newcomers. A feeling of pronounced bitterness still exists between the Arbitfationists and ex-strik-ers, and a fire which destroyed a whare on Saturday night during the absence of its occupants (an arbilrationist worker) is regarded as having suspicious features. This arbitrationisf, had been frequently threatened, and a search of the debris failed to -discover anything which a lire could not have destroyed.
