Coal Miners Resuming Work After Naval Block
Brisbane reports that coal miners began resuming at Bunlamba after weeks of disruption. A naval directive requires coal be allocated to public utilities and essential industries, delaying general industry restarts. The War Precautions rules stay in force and the Coal Board coordinates with the Naval Board on enforcement. Mr. Cochrane of Dry Electric Light Co. confirms naval orders restricting public unity undertakings in Brisbane and limiting power provision, affecting hundreds of workers and city power operations.
