At a meeting on Wednesday night the Auckland Trades and Labour Council considered a circular issued by tho secretary of tho Inangahua Miners' Union, and addressed to all the unions in Auckland, aßkinglor financial assistant to enable 90 miners to meet a lock-out by tho Consolidated Gold Fields of New Zealand, Limited, a British company, which had closed the Goldop Fkec9 mine. Tho circular states that for.a numbor of years past it bus been urged on the Legislature that the hours of labour in mines were too long, considering the unhealthy nature of tbo employment, and, after considerable agitation by tho miners' unions, inoludiug petitions to Parliament, the Legislature last session passed a law compelling payment for overtime for all tho time miners uto employed underground over oighc hours, from surfaco to snrfaco, This law came into force on October 31st last, and tho union notified all uiino ownors in the district, They roceived a reply from the Consolidated Company asking the minors to moot tha company to discuss the situation. Tho company wished the minors to forego tho privilege granted them by Parliament, and the minors would not consent to this on the ground that if they did so they would stultify themselves and set tho part of traitors to their fellowunionists, As tho meeting had no official information on the subject the secretary was instructed to write to tho Minors' ' Union. The mate will tbon be considerI ed at next meoting. Some delegates said ; if tho case was a meritorious one, assisj thuce should be graatsd at once.
