Developing a Balanced View of Blackball '08 from a Wider Range Of
‘The View from Over the Hill’: Developing a Balanced View of Blackball ’08 from a Wider Range of Perspectives1 MELANIE NoLAN On 26 February 1908 Walter Leitch, the mine manager of a small private West Coast mine employing about 160 workers, dismissed seven miners, all members of the recently formed Blackball branch of the Socialist Party. The miners had been agitating for some time for an eight hour ‘bank to bank’ day, that is for overtime to be paid if a miner worked longer than eight hours from the time he entered a mine to the time he left the mine.2 Tensions had been inflamed by a second local union demand for half an hour rather than fifteen minutes for lunch or crib. The Blackball Miners’ Industrial Union of Workers struck the next day when management refused to reinstate and compensate the sacked workers. The Blackball strike, famously known as the ‘crib’ or ‘tucker time’ strike, lasted 11 weeks, ending on 13 May 1908 when the Blackball Coal Mining Company (Limited) reinstated the men and the mealtime was increased to thirty minutes.3 The Blackball strike in 1908 focused national attention on the arbitration system. Conservatives were enraged by the apparent victory of the miners in the ‘Blackball affair’.4 The Arbitration Court of New Zealand fined the miners’ union £75 for striking in defiance of the Arbitration Act. The union had no assets and so each miner was liable to a fine up to £10. The miners refused to pay any such fines, and an auction of confiscated miners’ goods was an embarrassing failure. -
Differential Uplift of Middle and Late Quaternary Shorelines, Northwest South Island, New Zealand Introduction

Box 30368, Lower Hutt, New Zealand Discontinuous Plcistoccnc cliff-backed shorelines up to 220 m in altitude, and Holocene shorelines up to 12 m, border much of 125 km of coast from Westport to Hokitika in northwest South Island, New Zealand. The coastal terraces arc up to 10 km wide where cut on soft Tertiary sediments but are narrow or absent on gneiss. By analogy with post-glacial shoreline development, Pleistocene shorelines are accepted as having been formed at the times of attainment of high interglacial sea levels. Past intra- regional correlations assumed minimal differential uplift, but, as with glacial outwash surfaces inland, the raised shorelines are deformed by folding. Correlations are helped by the relations of shoreline deposits to glacial outwash gravels in the south, and by a few radiometric, mainly radiocarbon, dates. Correlations with high sea levels of deep-sea Oxygen Isotope Stages are made using the best fits of the altitudes of local sequences of shorelines to the altitudes expected assuming constant rates of uplift for each sequence. Uplift rates are between 0.5 and 0.2 m/kyr, and the uplift pattern substantially matches that of uplift of Miocene to lower Quaternary sediments. The shorelines correspond to high sea levels within Oxygen Isotope Stages 15, 13, 11,9 (two), 7 (two), 5 (two) and 1. -

Resource consents permitted Pike River to extract 17.6 million tonnes of coal valued, it is said, at around NZ$4 billion. Between 19 November and 24 November 2010 a series of explosions rocked the mine. Twenty-nine miners were killed within the mine either as a result of the explosions or their toxic aftermath. The mine was sealed and has yet to be reopened. The bodies remain interred. A Royal Commission of Inquiry currently proceeds whose task it is to determine causes and responsibilities for this disaster. -

Some Pedological Trends from Recent West Coast Soil Surveys and Their Relevance to Forest Use
No. 2 151 SOME PEDOLOGICAL TRENDS FROM RECENT WEST COAST SOIL SURVEYS AND THEIR RELEVANCE TO FOREST USE G. MEW and M. L. LEAMY Soil Bureau, DSIR, Lower Hutt (Received for publication 4 April 1977) ABSTRACT Recent soil surveys connected with plans to utilise West Coast beech forests have covered areas from the Mokihinui River to Hokitika at more detailed scales than were previously available. Seven main soil groups have been recognised; their properties are briefly described. Four major Pedological trends have been identified in the region. These are: 1. Increasing incidence of gley soils on low glacial outwash terraces with increasing rainfall. 2. An increase in gleying in hill and steepland soils with higher rainfall, coupled with microtopography and parent material contrasts. 3. Increasing tendency for soil and geological instability with increasing angle and length of slope on certain rock types, possibly coupled with higher rainfall and changes in land use. 4. Contrast in types and down-profile movement of organic matter associated with different forest types, mainly beech/podocarp and podocarp/hardwood forest. Trend 1 has already been largely recognised in planning for potential use for forestry. Trend 2 is reflected by differential growth in some areas already planted in exotic forest. Trend 3 is of major significance in making wise land use decisions. Trend 4 is of relevance in methods of land preparation and in management of protection forests. INTRODUCTION Soil surveys have been carried out during each summer field season on the West Coast between 1972 and 1975. All major areas in which conversion to exotic forests was proposed, between the Mokihinui River north of Westport and the Hokitika and Kokatahi Rivers, have been surveyed at scales of 1:63 360 or latterly at 1: 50 000. -
