Price of Coal.
During the debate on the State Coal Mines Bill, Mr Seddon said: —I knoW people have got to pay £2 10s per ton for it. I saw a letter the other day from Auckland in connection with the action of an enterprising individual there.' With a small capital to meet the requirements of the poorer people there has been an association formed in Auckland and an agreement arrived at not to sell under a given quantity of coal. This man undertook to sell half the quantity stipulated in this agreement between these coal dealers, and I saw the letter that was sent to him, intimating that unless lie came to the terms and conditions, and agreed hot to sell in less quantities than that fixed by the association lie could get no more coal.
