COAL TOO DEAR.
lEFUSAL TO BUY AT HOME. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Received August 11, 8.10 pm. London, August 10. An unusual sight was afforded by some Scottish railways which were blocked with miles of coal-laden waggons and emptygoods tracks, the consumers refusing to pay the high prices demanded for coal, which, they contend, are treble what the trade can stand for domestic coal. Several boycotted ironmasters have refused to operate their blast furnaces, and this has caused a famine in pig iron. Many miners are again workless.—Reuter Service.
