No. 8 coal mine rumor fuels fuel oil debate
A Cumberland reader reports a Vancouver Province item claiming No 8 mine of Canadian Collieries will open and employ 500 to 600 workers. The Islander says the claim is false and impractical due to duty-free fuel oil imports. The piece blames government policy for idle miners and urges BC MPs to push for duty on fuel oil to revive coal mining in the province.
