3622 WARDEN OPENS INQUIRY
Complaints About
Labor Conditions
AT the direction of the Minister for Mines, an inquiry
was conducted in the Warden's Court today before
the Mining Warden (Mr. K. Donaldson) under Section
124 (a) of the Mining Act into a complaint by James
Henry Pearce that the labor conditions on Mining Lease
No. 4367, known as the Rupee mine, had not been ful-
filled by the lessees, Ernest Evan Trewren, Edward
Meadows, and Gordon Miller, for a period of approxi-
mately two months prior to April 1, 1938.
Pearce requested that the subject
lease be granted to him.
Mr. J. J. Davoren appeared for
Pearce, and Mr. M. Austen Brown for
the three lessees, Trewren, Miller
and Meadows.
James Henry Pearce, prospector,
of 406 Cobalt-street, said the com-
plaint was in respect of Mining Lease
No. 4367, Parish of Bolaira, County
of Yancowinna, of 40 acres, which
was granted to Ernest Evan Trewren,
Edward Meadows and Gordon Miller,
and which was the subject of an
option agreement to Mitchell Austen
Brown and was assigned to Mr. J. G.
M. Hains for Rupee (B.H.) Ltd. He
alleged that the labor conditions were
not complied with for approximately
two months prior to April 1, 1938.
During that period he went to the
lease eight or nine times in the day-
time. He made all except one of his
visits on week days during ordinary
working hours.
On each occasion, there was nobody
present on the lease. There were
signs that diamond drilling had been
done on the lease. There were a few
cores lying about near some drill
holes. After he made his complaint,
Trewren and Miller went to see him
at his home.
Mr. Brown said he was instruct-
ed that the conversation took
place without prejudice, and ob-
jected on those grounds.
Pearce said that Trewren and Miller
asked him what he was going to do
about the Rupee. He told them that
he had sent his complaint to the
Minister, and that it appeared that
nobody had been working there for
months. Trewren said, "It is not
us you will have to go. It is the Rupee
Company." One of the men said, "If
you win the case, which we think
you will, we will go the company for
damages."
Pearce replied, "You have already
received money out of it, and about
500 shares each. Anyhow, it was in
the paper that you had abandoned it
so I do not think I am doing any
harm." They said that they did not
blame him.
Pearce said that Trewren and Mil-
ler, and a man named Harris or
Meadows saw him at the Theatre
Royal Hotel on June 5. The man
Harris (or Meadows) said, "It looks
as if you are going to get the thing.
How about coming in with us? I
think we have been sold as regards
the mine.
"We have a block on each side of
you. What about coming in with us
and forming a company, as we know
you have a chance of floating and get-
ting things done?" Pearce replied,
"I don't know much about that."
Harris (or Meadows) continued: "If
you like to come in we will get away
from this company. If you get the
place then we can get it going be-
tween us." ,
Pearce replied, "I don't care
much for doing this sort of thing.
I don't think I'll be in that. Let
the court decide it."
He made the present complaint on
April 1, and now asked that the lease
be declared forfeited for the non-
compliance of labor conditions, and
that the subject lease be granted to
himself.
To Mr. Brown: There was nothing
said during these conversations that
they were to be without prejudice.
They did not say that they had been
advised that I did not have a chance
of winning the case, nor did they
suggest to me that I was a claim
jumper."
I do not think Trewren, Meadows
and Miller did much work on the
lease, nor that the company has spent
much money there. The company may
have spent £1000 on diamond drilling.
I am making this application on
my own behalf, although there are
other people interested. I remember
now that the man whom I thought
was Harris was named Meadows.
Pearce declined to give the
names of other persons interest-
ed. He would not say whether
or not he was interested in a num-
ber of other mining ventures
round Broken Hill.
Pearce refused to answer when he
was asked whether he had obtained
a suspension of labor conditions 0n
other lesses. He also declined to
answer when asked if he made his
living by illegal gaming.
Mr. Brown asked if there was any
improvement in his financial position
since May, 1935, but Pearce again de-
clined to answer, refusing also to
disclose his present financial position.
To Mr. Davoren : None of the pre-
sent holders of the lease nor anyone
associated with Rupee (B.H.) Ltd
are interested with me in this com-
plaint. Fix t
