PRESENT SYSTEM CONDEMNED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 8, 5.5 p.m. London, Jane U
Giving evidence before the Coal Commission, Richard Redmayne stated that the existing royalty and owning sjrtlem was against the natidial interest. Compensation to the royalty owners on a basis of 121 years' purchase would amount bo seventy) millions sterling. There was a disquieting fall in the coal output, amounting to nine per cent, per person per shift compared with pre-' war, partly attributable to the mines' backward state of development. The miners were less skilful owing to long absence, and the high wages were disinclining miners to take to piecework. Mr. Redmayrie mggested that the miner* should organise a crusade among the miners,' pointing out the serious consequences of a reduced output.—Aus.-NJZ. Cable Assn.
