THE COAL OUTLOOK.
MORE FOR HOUSEHOLDERS. PREMIER REVIEWS POSITION. By Teleffrftph.—jPress Association. Wellington, Last Night. The Prime Minister to-day made A statement ''eviewing tlie coal situation. He said: "A careful scrutiny of the figures covering the coal produced clearly indicates a possibility at the present time of Increasing the allowance of coal for household purposes: without seriously interfering with the operations of important' industrial concerns and public services, on which the prosperity and progress of the Dominion so largely depend- The shortage of coal is universal throughout tho Dominion, and la not confined to any particular locality, an(l if the insistent demands of some districts now being made were acceded to, it could only be done by Withdrawing supplies from others where tho shortage Is just as acute. The position is being very carefully watched by the coal control department, and the coal trade committees in the four centres are doing their utmost to distribute all the coal arriving in their respective districts, 80 as to avoid as far as- possible any uudue hardship to the public."
