THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
The Com, Issue. The question of using New Zealand coal i.s not so simple a.s it may appeal'. The fact that, while Lubour leaders have deplored the importation of coal, the men operating the locomotives have strenuously objected to the displacement of imported by New Zealand coal is ample proof of that. Both at litudes are comprehensible when it i remembered that all cord i.s not th same coal. Firemen may well preler tl) shovel fuel with maximum suitability for locomotives, and. if that he not available in New Zealand, to favour its importation. Others, not influenced . much by wliat may he called the lootpate view, but concerned about other as' ect.s of the matter, may just a.s well advocate support of a domestic mining industry. Other things being equal, it is obviously desirable that New Zealand coal should he used.— “ New Zealand Herald.”
