Miners in Westport Distrust Government on Local Rates
A Westport district miner says workers are angry at the Government for not granting Grey District the same conditions as Moki Hinwi and surrounding areas. He doubts a general strike but warns a ballot could go either way as tonnage rates at Grey affect local miners. He notes the Miners Federation asked McKenzie to abolish tracking at the State mine, a move local managers must settle. The miner disputes costing £4000 for tracking and argues a lone worker cannot earn £1 1s a day at a race. Conditions and wages are said to be better locally than Grey State.
