COAL DEPRESSION

Grey District Perturbed OVERSEAS IMPORTATIONS By Telegraph—Press Association. Greymouth, September 15. A public meeting of representatives of local bodies, mine-owners, and miners’ organisations of the Grey district at the town hall to-night discussed the depression in the coal industry and the frequent loss of working days, particularly at the Grey Valley mines. The following resolution was adopted: That this representative meeting of miners, mine-owners, local bodies, and the general public protests forcibly against the action of the Government in importing overseas coal to the Dominion to the detriment of their own products, and that a deputation of representatives of the Runanga and Greymouth Borough Councils, the Grey County Council, the Harbour Board, the coal owners, the coal miners and farmers proceed to Wellington to request the Government to stop the importation of coal into New Zealand and to spread the period of the reduction of railway stocks of coal over six months at least and to restore the orders for coal to their former level.”
