THE COAL RESERVES.
(Special to Herald.)
DUXEDIN, this day. The managing director of the Westport Coal Company denies the Press Association report from Palmerston North that coal supplies to distributors are to be limited owing to the fear of a sympathetic strike. No such thought, he Says, is m the .minds of the management. The instruction to . distributors that persons having contracts must receive attention m the first "-instance is simply a common precaution/ and is m no way related to aifail-e at Wailii. Further enquiries a^oui jtbj&, city result m a confirmation of Mr"? Ubachim's assurance. The gas Avorks have laid m enough coal to last for months, and" most of the foundries are . amply ;: provided for, so that if all oversea^ supplies stopped on the instant the demand m Dunedin for household coal-cOuld be freely met.
