COAL MINING INDUSTRY
NEED TO INCREASE PRODUCTION. MINISTER’S APPEAL. (Bj' Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. April 2. The need for both employers and workers in the coal-mining industry to do their utmost to increase production was stressed by the Minister of Mines, Mr. Webb, when addressing the workers at the Renown Collieries last evening. He said that every extra ton imported into the country meant so much less sterling funds for the purchase of raw materials so increasingly necessary to keep industries working. He appealed for employers and workers to co-operate as they never had before. “I appeal to miners to stop petty bickering and stop-work meetings that hamper production,” he added. “Let their grievances be ventilated through the proper channels. At the moment we need every pound of coal we can get. lam confident miners will do what they did so magnificently last year, and provide the country with all the coal needed.”
