SCOTTISH COAL GLUT.
—. —> REACTION AGAINST HIGH PRICES (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Banter's Telegrams. l (Received August llth, 8.10 p.m.) LONDON, AugUßt 10. An unusual sight is afforded by some of the Scottish railways, which are blocked with miles of coal-laden waggons and empty goods trucks. Consumers are refusing to pay the high prices demanded for coal, which, they contend; are treble what the trade can stand for domestic coal. Several ironmasters have refused to operate their blast furnaces, and this has caused a famine in pig iron. Many miners are again workless.
