COAL SUPPLIES
RAILWAY DEPARTMENT’S DEMANDS,
(Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 26. A suggestion has been made that the Railway Department must now be in a position to slacken its demands for coal, and thus enable larger supplies to be made available for domestic use. When asked about this matter to-day, the Prime Minister said that the Railway Department was not in a position to do this. Its supplies were not so good at present as a few months ago and although the output from the mines had increased it was not yet back to normal. The Department, he added, had been giving supplies to quite a number of local bodies to help them over difficult periods.
