STRIKERS FINED.
Perth, Sunday.
The miners at the Whim Creek Copper Company's mine in the north-west who recently ceased work as a protest against four shifts were proceeded against by the company in the local court for breach of agreement. In the agreement it was provided the men should receive union wages, but the men complained the company's rates were below those of other mines in the district. The men were ordered to refund the steamer fare of £5 each paid by the company, in default a month's imprisonment.
