BRITAIN’S COAL CRISIS.
WAGES DOWN, PRICES UP. SLUMP AND OUTPUT. London, Feb. 28Official: The wages advances to coalminers under the November strike settlement are no longer payable, as, owing to trade depression, the output is now only 17,650,000 tons, compared with 19,040,000 for the September quarter. The president of the Mining Association of Great Britain, speaking at the South Wales Conciliation Board, said only sixteen companies out of 150 paid a profit in January. The pithead prices of coal at Cardiff yesterday were raised 5/- to 10/-. Best house coal is now 53/2 at the pithead.—(A. and N.Z-.)
