“BACK” WORK ON MINES
(P.A.) Greymouth, Oct. 1. The Minister of Mines, the Hon. P. C. Webb, has requested the district State coal mines, with the exception of the Liverpool Mine, to work the next two “back” Saturdays to supplement supplies of coal until the warmer weather lessens the demand for household coal. Mr. Webb said to-day that all mines, including cooperative concerns but excepting the Liverpool, had agreed to the request. He added that the Liverpool miners were not asked because of their long day away from home and lhe fact that many of them were getting on in years.
