POSITION IN WELLINGTON.
POSSIBLE RESTEiCTION
trouble that, has occuri<id itt- ; tho West Coast ami .Auckland mines|:is \Hkely to be seriously; ■reflects In. ■ Wellington, and. of coursie, in cicher .parts of the Dominion (remarks yes- ■ toi-day's Post). Cabinet meets this - affeenioon, when the subject of the • coal miners' strike will be one of .the ; 'iir.st matters considored,_: nlthough no ■•• definite steps can be taken in view of the far-t' that the niatier is now before tho'Courts. "The shortage of " output of coal, however, has been so serious that it is likely in the very near future to affect the average consumer, and with this in mind, the Government will very ■ soon consider " the necessity of issuing regulation's still further restricting the quantity t of ;coal tliat private individuals and' public companies may purchase. Sbfar, the original regulations have not ■ boon a matter of much public con- ■ oern. Tlie strike will probably put an entirely different complexion on 'tho' situation.
It is .suggested that : if the coal' strike eontirmes • the supply of gas and. electric light—oven the, supj>ly of food at public restairra.iits—maybe seriously curtailed.1 '
