MINERS’ PLEDGE
TO BREAK PRODUCTION RECORDS CALL IN AUSTRALIA. LOSSES TO BE ELIMINATED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, Noon.) SYDNEY, This Day. The production 12,250,000 tons would be achieved by the Australian coal mining industry this year, Dr. Evatt (Attorney-General) told a meeting of miners. This is 500,000 tons higher than in 1941 but it is not enough, declared Dr. Evatt. Australia must have another two million tons a year. Absenteeism and unnecessary holdups in the coal industry had caused a loss in output of more than a million tons. Not only did this affect Australia’s internal war organisation but exaggerated reports circulated abroad and damaged the country’s reputation and might possibly affect the passage of war supplies. In re§2pnse to Dr. Evatt’s appeal Australian miners have pledged themselves to break production records.
