THE COLLIERS AND TH3 WAGES QUESTION. Last Saturday the notice given by the colliers for an advance in wages, at most of the collieries expired, and the men went out 0:1 strike. In the Kuabon district there seemed a determination to stand out until the 20 per cent. was granted. They brought up their tools, and on Wednesday and Thursday, those employed at the pits of thePiaskynastôn Co., and the New British Iron Co. *;were pa.id off. A meeting was held on Wednesday, at the Hampden Arms, Acrefair, when it was stated that the Black Park Collieries would grant 15 per cent. advance, with a promise of an additional 10 per cent. in a fortnight's time. The Brynkinallt Collieries, we believe, will also make such concessions as will satisfy the men, and an early resumption of work in that district is certain. At a meeting, held on the same day, at Rhos, it was resolved not to wcrk unless an advance of 20 por cent. was granted. On Thursday afternoon, a meeting was held at the Cross Foxes, Pentre Brough- ton, and attended principally by the colliers from Westminster Collieiv. Mr Howard presided. The business was in reference to certain reports of alleged bribes, of £25 each, said to have been received by the men's representatives, Messrs W. Venables, D. Jenkins, and E. Turley. No proof of the report was forthcoming, it being stated that it originated at Rhos. The repre- sentatives offered to meet anyone on the subject, and challenged anyone to bring proof. A delegate froin Coedpoeth stated, at a meeting, on the previous evening, that it was resolved not to go to work unless an advance of 20 per cent. was granted, and the masters sent for their agent, Mr W. Davies. The notice expired at the Brymbo and Broughton Collieries on Friday, and it is believed work will be resumed without the reduction awarded by Sergeant Wheeler. The colliers of Brvnmally have gone in at the reduction. Some of the oilier collieries in the district have made the reduction 7t per cent. There appears to be no organised strike; each colliery taking its own line of action independently of its neighbour.
