LOSS OF COAL.
DROP IN WAIKATO RETURNS. DUE TO “GO-SLOW” POLICY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The actual loss in tonnage caused in the Waikato this week by the “go-slow” policy is difficult to determine, but it is approximately thirty per cent, of the usual output. The Taupiri mines have lost something like .300 tons daily. Their normal production is 1000 tons a day. The Pukemiro mine, which usually produces an average of 480 tons per day, lost 230 tons on Monday, 130 on Tuesday, and 160 yesterday. The heavier loss on Monday is accounted for by the stop. work meeting held by the men. Deliveries to local agents from the Waihi mines were substantially short on Monday, but for Tuesday and yesterday they were somewhat improved, though they were not up to the noma* bulk.
