MOUNT LYELiL COKE INDUSTRY
A VANISHED DEMAND. uy cable —mess association— cobykight. SYDNEY, Sep. 11. The Mount Lyell coke .works at Port Kemibla are clGtsiing at the end ol the month. 'The machinery ancl all other material will he sold. This will throw a large numiber of men out of wont. The reason for dlosing is that the company’s mine and smelters in Tasmania do not require so much coke, owing to a new process in use, and the balance of the coke manufactured •is nob saleable, as .smelting is practically iat a .standstill on account of the bow price of metal. It is feared that the introduction of the forty-four hours week will elore the remaining large industries at Port Keanbla.
