Summary on War In Waihi
By Mark Derby
There was once a hill but 12 thousand men came and dug it for gold. So what turns a hill into a hole? The answer is GOLD, the rock has been dug from the Martha Mine for it fleacks for more than a hundred years.
Trouble has been viral in town for years.Waihi miners were paid less than other countries. They were even forced to work fast and it was sometimes dangerous. Some miners got a deadly lung disease known as Miner Cough.
Then 7 years came by and hundreds of families had to survive without weekly pay packet. They had veggies, chicken, and divided money. Some people went fishing and divided up the catch with the neighbors. There were men and they were police and they were taking photos of themselves.
There was a man called Bill Parry and he was the president of Wahi Miners Union. There were three policemen and they were taking photos of them being soldiers. There was a group of people walking in a group.
