STATE COAL MINES
(Per Press Association). GRETMOUTH, Last Night. Regarding the request to improve facilities at the State Mines in order to avert a recurrence of unemployment, the Minister of Mines, said that while getting good coal orders, the Department found a certain prejudice among gas managers and others against New Zealand coal, but as soon as the Department was satisfied extra bins wore required, they would be provided. Plans for these were being prepared but last year's profit was too small to warrant a largo expenditure. The department sold coal cheap in order to help the poorer people in the centres and was not looking for a largo profit Ho was now experimenting with slack and believed shortly there would bo no wastage of this fuel at the State mines.
