THE COAL STRIKE.

Press Assn—By telegraph—Copyright. (Received March 17, 9.15 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. Though the strike is over, it is unlikely that full supplies of coal will be available for some weeks. During the strike the Inter-State Companies had over fifty steamers laid up. Thirty of these are still idle. Docking and getting them in running order will mean a further large outlay. The total losses of the InterState and Union Companies over the strike is estimated at £'200,000.
