HC Deb 20 February 1929 vol 225 c1130W
Colonel CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Secretary for Mines the cause of the stoppage which has occurred at the Nine Mile Point Colliery since a settlement was arranged; and if the mine is now working?

Commodore KING

A further stoppage occurred on Friday last, 15th February, as the workmen alleged that the owners were employing three or four men in contravention of the agreement reached on 13th February. I understand that the Men referred to have resigned. The hitch is thus disposed of, and the colliery is now at work with as many men as it can at present employ.
