WH YNOT CONTINUE TO ECONOMISE?
When the recent coal-miners' strike was in orjoiWon, certain methods of economising the existing
coal supply wore ''set afoefc. With tho end of the strike Ihesc have all been abandoned.. Yet the coal shortage to-day is ? lS bad as evef. The period of<SS o s \ m) ," at tho mj followed ivy the strike, coupled with • the heafy demand for coal fw maily mourns past, has continued to depute tho country's reserve stocks 'of coal. Winter is "now coming on, v and it will be some- time before anything like the normal stocks will be available. Why not, therefore, continue some of tho economies temporarily instituted under the pressure of necessity occasioned by the strike? It is not necessary or desirable that the extreme measures fchon introduced should be adhered to, but it would entail do great hardship to continue the earlier working and ■ closing hours temporarily adopted, and a reasonable- curtailment of the tramway service outside of the rush hours could be carried out with a minimum -&f inconvenience.
