CONCLUSION OF ADDRESS.
STARTLING ALLEGATIONS. (Received Last Night, 9.50 o'clock.) SYDNEY, April 19. In the Vend prosecutions, Mr Wise concluded his opening address. He mentioned specific instances in which public bodies in other States were clamouring for coal. The mines were not worked to their full capacity. At the lowest possible estimate, the increased profits of the Vend, since 1905, amounted to £600,000 upon the inter-State trade only. The Crown submitted that a greater part of this increase was illegitimate, and due to the combination. There was no competition. Buyers were at its mercy, and were charged extravagant prices. It sold the same coal, under the same conditions, at different prices for different parts of Australia.
