Insufficient for Homes and Trains. IMPORTS NECESSARY. (Received 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. Mr. J. T. Pettigrew, representative of the Abermain Colliery, New South Wales, who has returned from New Zealand by the Tahiti, says that there has been. a Labour agitation in New Zealand against the quantity of coal imported from Australia as the result of New Zealand coal being tested for use on railway locomotives.
