Coal production a record for state mines
The Minister for Mines Mr W Power reported record coal output with strong shipments of Callide coal to the south. Underground and open-cut production exceeded last year with total production to October 11 near 1 344 11 tona and over 1 546 998 tons for the period. Open-cut yield fell from 309 200 tons last year to 207 118 tons. Power announced pensions for coal miners would rise by 13/8, with Queensland pensions aligning to New South Wales proposals. The State Coal Board may adjust district coal prices as miners receive the basic wage, a decision made after a conference with coal owners representatives.
