COAL CRISIS.
GRAVE DEVELOPMENTS. DOCKERS AND RAILWAYMEN. MAY NOT HANDLE COAL. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London. May 9. According to the Daily Chronicle a grave development in the coal crisis is flue to the threat by dockers and railwaymen to refuse to handle any seaborne coal. These supplies are not necessarily from foreign sources. As a fact the trouble commenced yesterday with a Welsh cargo in Glasgow harbor. It remains to be seen whether the transport workers’ executive, when it meets to-day will endorse the sectional action of those workers. The railwaymen have been informed that their refusal is contrary to instructions from their own eueciitive, but the dockers and railwaymen assert that they cannot discriminate between commercial coal and coal for public utility services. It is suggested that the extremists have been encouraged by the outbreak among the reservists gt Aldershot.
