COAL VEND CASE.
THE CASE FOR THE COAL MINERS. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright. Received 12, !).'2O p.m. Sydney, July 12.
Mr. Knox, counsel for the colliery proprietors, again monopolised the whole day in the vend case. He quoted prices charged to consumers in Australia and other parts of the world. Where the prices were most affected by the vend, they were approximately equal. Therefore the prices could not be called excessive. A rise of from ten to eleven shillings a ton was not to the detriment of the public. This was proved by the fact that trade had increased in greater proportion than before. No witness had stated that trade was hampered by the prices charged.
