LABOUR FOR STATE MINES
MORE MEN NEEDED ON WEST COAST JjMv (0.R.) GREYMOUTH, November 24. t Because West Coast coal mines art ■ losing men from their employment i faster than they can replace them, « > was officially stated to-day that tneState Mines Department could place 20 miners, shiftmen, and truckers at j the Liverpool mine, and about spt truckers and shiftmen at the Strong* man mine, immediately. The Wallsenn mine also had vacancies for about-,*V ■ miners and six truckers. ■ It was stated to-day by a mine official that the loss of production haa i not yet become appreciable, but tnai , at the present rate of loss of cm- ■ ployees, it would not be long before there was a considerable decrease in production. In some places the loss ■ of truckers had meant that the miners, had had to truck their own coal, witn a consequent reduction in production.-
