ILIA'S COAL
TRADE IT STANOSTILL
SYDNEY, Aust„ Aug., 26, OP)
—Carrying coals to Newcastle is a
phrase that has become literally
realized in Australia.
Australia has abundant coal sup
plies, but for months the industry
has been at a standstill because of
the high cost of production. The
owners sought, by protracted nego
tiations and conferences,, to induce
the miners to consent to a wage
cut, but the cry “not a penny off
the pay, not a minute on the day”
was raised.
The South Australian gov
ernment railways began to import
fuel from Great Britain rather than
pay the high prices for Australia
coal. Next the owners closed the
mines, and for some months now
orders for thousands of tons have
been going to England and New
Zealand.
The trade in South American
ports that once took supplies from
Australia has been lost.
George Bodis left recently on the
Kougarok Limited with a capacity
load of supplies for his mining
camp on Dick creek, Nome. The
company, of which George is a
member, owns a Fordson tractor
and hauls their own supplies from
Shelton to their camp, a distance
of 75 miles.

to averages issued.
