COAL, BUT NO SHIPS
A GREYMOUTH REPORT STATE MINES CLOSED FOR TWO - DAYS Br Tclegranh-Press Association. Greymouth, April 22. There is much indignation throughout the district over the shortage of coal for consumers. While for some days 4000 tons have lain in the State mine bins and 2000 tons in trucks on the wharf there have been no ships to lift the coal for export. The State mines have consequently been closed for two, days, thus rendering idle 300 men, nnd causing the loss of much fuel to the country, and of wages to the miners. Strong objection has been raised to the embargo oh the disposal of State coal locally except through dealers, who ore unablo to cope with orders. It is urged that local needs should bo fully supplied while coal is available. An agitation is proceeding for State colliers ns the only reliable means of ensuring the regular conveyance of coal to the centres.
