COAL SHORTAGE
RAILWAY DEPARTMENT’S POSITION AUCKLAND, May 11. With less than one week’s supply of coal in hand, the Railway Department is facing a serious position. Stocks have been below normal requirements for some time, but recently the level to which they have fallen has caused great concern. With a view to redeeming the position, the Mines Department to-day instructed coal mining companies to divert the day’s output, including the normal domestic and industrial supply, to the railways. It was not expected that the instruction would be of a continuing nature.
