To-day. 1 ‘ ~ j X>EVIEWING the enormous loss of wages and the industrial dislocation due to strikes, Mr. McDonald, chairman of the Northern Colliery Proprietors’ Association, said that never in the history of ‘he State had the slackness in trade been so intense. It was assuming proportions that were causing anxiety } and alarm to colliery proprietors. Australia's trade in export coal was dwindling toward extinction. In 12 years, 1913 to 1925, the inter-State ana foreign shipments fell by more than 1,000,000 tons, and it. was in the nature of a tragedy that while a great industry was fighting for its existence, the pits should be idled on pretexts which were unreasonable and often frivolous.—A. and N.Z.
