The chairman of the Wellington Gas Company, Dr. C. P. Knight, supplied the facts at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company. They were simply these: As a result of the coal shortage, strikes, and the consequential increased cost of gas-making, the company found that during the past year it had to raise the price offgas to the consumer 7d. per thousand feet in order to make ends meet and give shareholders a modest dividend. In other words the addition to the cost of making gas due to various forms of industrial disturbances resulted in a direct increase to the cost of living of everyone using gas. Of course the same thing applies in a score of other directions. Every time the militant extremists indulge in one of their holdi ups of industry, whether it, is in the coal mines, or on the waterfront, or on the. ships, it means loss, the greater part of which falls back on the public in increased costs of one kind or another. The facts disclosed in connection with the cost of gas merely serve to illustrate a little more clearly than is sometimes the case the inevitable consequences to the public generally of the mad policy of the industrial wreckers who claim to act in the into rests of labour unionism.—(Dominion.)
