I INSPECTORS OF TRIMMING. I The secretary of tho Sydney Coal Lumpers' i union, commenting on the loss of tho Aa3I tralian collier Tugg/jrah, said that until inspoctors were appointed at the various coal companies' jetties on tho South Coast, disasters would continue. " Tho position today, ho said, «is that tho coal is put into the collier 'at the jetty from a chute, and no focal labour is tised for trimming. Owing • to tho limited crew, it is impassible in many 'cases to have the opal properly trimmed to onftbte the batches to be put on and battened down. At Newcastle tho practice is j ,nB P ! * oilliowi and wo the hatchon aro down before they leave port. Tho remedy is simple. Local trimmers shmiM be employed, the . coal proporly trimmed, and the voshol battened down before alio leaves the jetty, CB.R. COMPANY'S NEW STEAMER.
