Manawatu Herald SATURDAY, JULY 9. 1921. WHO’S TO BLAME?
PUTTING tlu' blame exactly where it belongs is done in an editorial article on the Coal Outlook just published in the Greymouth Star; which says: “It is easy to declare who .are mostly to blame for the present unsatisfactory conditions of (lie Dominion’s coalmining industry, the culprits, of course, being those Union leaders who, a year or so ago, were urging the miners to go slow or strike on the slightest provocation or none. This stupid advice, unfortunately, was accepted, arid# to-day, the results are being unpleasantly felt by the miners. It is wrong, as well as childish, when considering the huge importations oil coal, to blame the Government, the shipping companies, or anybody but the men’s ‘leaders,’ because if Dominion coal had been forthcoming in sufficient quantities —as it easily could have been—the Government would never have dreamt of ordering American, Welsh, or Japanese coal, at considerable expense.’’ As the Star is published in it coalmining area, added interest and value pertains lo its outspoken verdict.
