Coal Strike Strains Town Mills And Salons
The coal strike spreads into next week with six women workers in three ladies hairdressing salons left idle. McLeod's Mill, led by W Cook, must notify sixteen staff of a week’s layoff while retaining only five skeleton workers. The mill holds about 1000 tons of coal, enough for a month at normal demand as electricity limits pinch operations. Wellington Alluvials Dredge reports no further men laid off, eighteen have sought relief forms, and more may apply as the strike endures.
