BADLY HIT
WESTPORT-STOCKTON MINE
BIG LOSS OF ORDERS
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WESTPOBT, 27th August. A serious position-has developed at the Westport-Stockton Company's mine consequent on the loss of Railway Department orders.
Up till a fortnight ago the company was contracting for a supply of 1300 tons of coal a week. This has since been reduced to 300 tons weekly. With the settling of the strike in Australia and the importation of Australian coal, household orders for Stockton have .almost ceased. In consequence the mines are likely to work only two to three shifts weekly.
