p. 11 · Read in the full issue
AFTER being prolonged for over three weeks, the strike among workmen at New Guinea Goldfields Limited’s Golden Ridges mine, near Wau, New Guinea, was settled at the end of November.
The dispute originated with a demand by eight engine-drivers for higher wages; later 20 artisans and miners struck in sympathy with the engine-men.
Though little detail concerning the settle ment is available in Sydney, it is under stood that the engine-drivers were not re engaged and that most of the workmen and miners were taken on again.
