Workmens Inspector B-ncer, Marble Bar.. i!C Cue. 15th November 1948. Wittenoom Mill I ho.ve your memo with a .Letter from the Secretary a.W.U. Mining Division which is returned herewith. Though Mr. Broadhurst has stated that a new mill is to be erected i.i which adequate provision is to be made Tor oust prevention, the men are fully justified in their concern gbont the conditions which new exist. I think that it is safe to say that the presH.it mill will be in operation for at ieat another twelve months, aid ycai would De within your rights in pressing for improvements to the existing plant I do not see that & report from you to the Union Secretary can add anything to .hat we all already know, which is that conditions are definitely bad. Lloyd's report with d^-st counts and other technical .Inforation is the only one that could assist at this stage. Ss is the officer specially appointed and equipped with the necessary instruments to make guon a report and visited tile Mine especially for that purpose and I think that you* should point this <??t to lir. Oliver. He will obably make a00:0 recommendations and a copy of them should be forwarded to you and myself so that we can see that they are caiTied out. In any event he should be able to get out ids report v * just as quickly as you could visit the Mine and make j?ne youself. -V T.rgjeotor of Mirier C^4
