NOT HOARDING COAL
RAILWAYS NEED BIGGER 'SUPPLIES. •In Teply to suggestions that have been rondo that some of tho shortage of supplies of coal for domestic use is due to the rapacity of the Railway Department in taking the lion's share of Hie output from the mines and suggestions also to tho effect that tho Department should release some more coal troui its plentiful supplies for domesthe requirements, • tho" Minister of Railways (Mr. Maseey) stated yesterday that unfortunately tho Department had no such largo supplies of coal as somopeople appeared to suppose, and that it had no coal to spare For domestic requirements. He said that in fact tho position was not so good as it had been 6ome months ago. Although the output from tho mines had increased, it was not yet back to normal, and so also tho supplies coming forward were not sufficient. Tho Railway Department, he added, had already given somo supplies to a number of local bodies to tide them over difficult periods.
