THE COAL CRISIS
PROSPECTS OF N.S.W. GOAL STATEMENT BY PREMIER. Referring yesterday to tho coal crisis, the Prime Minister said to "a "Times" reporter: "I am sorry to see that there is trouble again at the mines up north. It is only right to say, too, that the • outlook from New South Wales is not ae good as it was two or three days ago. New Zealand ships, I am informed, aro not yet getting loaded, and the number of ships awaiting cargoes for New Zealand has increased." Just at that moment a telegram from Mr J. H. Gunson (Mayor of Auokland) arrived for Mr Maeeey, who said, "I see they have bettor news at Auckland. This message states that our ships are now receiving coal—Maitland coal—in Australia." "I feel sure," he continued, "that Mr Hughes (Prime Minister of the Commonwealth) will do his besj for ua. There is a good reciprocal arrangemont between the two countries."
