Negotiations for the stabilisation of the coal industry, which has been drifts ing from New South Wales to foreign and British ports, are now taking definite shape. It is announced that the West Australian Government has secured a large consignment of coal from Maitland at a price considerably lower than the recent high rates, while the Premier, Mr Bavin, is on the eve of announcing an appreciable reduction in the price of coal to the railways, as the result of an amicable arrangement between the coal owners and himself on the one hand, and the men’s representatives on the other. Mr Bruce also took a hand in these negotiations, which are causing greatest satisfaction. —Australian Press Association.
