Good Results From the COMMISSIONS
Work.

Mr. Mcneil said he anticipated a great
deal of good from the work of the indus
trial commission. 1t would bring to the at
tcntion of the people the conditions OF
workmen and would educate them along
those lines.
He favored particularly one piece of leg
lSidtlOn TO advance the condition of work
1ngmen, and that was in the interest of the
eight-hour day. He would enact a law pro-
v:ding that every patent issued in the
with an eight-hour day. So that n cotton
factory to make use of future improve
ments in invention. would have to intro
duce the eight-hour rule
Mr. MCNEIL favored the employment of
cCnvicts simply in manual training work,
the product to be used by other wards of
the nation. The chief purpose of this work
would he the education of the convict. He
favored paying the convict for his labor
this money to go to the care of his family
or if he has no family to be turned over
to him upon his discharge from the insti-
tuition in which he is confined.
Speaking of machinery he said. while
machinery destroys the need for mechanical
skill. vet in the last twenty years it could
not he said tnat the nTmber of tramps had
been increased. In 1876. he said, there Were
3Hn.U1 tramps. There were no more than
that today. The inference was that ma
chinery does not in the long run cause less
labor 10 he employed.
Mr.. Mcneil showed the greatest famil-
iarity with labor questions. and proved 50
reques sted to appear again tomorrow morn
ing, but engagements prevented him from
doing so AT that time. ana he will probably
appear again at some future day.

Coal Exports From This Country
Rapidly Increase.
REMARKABLE GROWTH OF PRODUCTION
Expansion Of the Average in
Twenty Years, 1873 Per Cent.
SOUTHERN DEVELOPMENT

The announcement that the rapid in
crease in expectation of coal from the
United States is causing uneasiness among
British coal producers and exporters lends
interest to some figures on the coal pro-
duction of the world, and especially of the
United States, just issued by the treasury
bureau of statistics. From these it ap-
pears that the coal production of the United
States is now nearly five times as much as
in 1870, that the expectation has in that
time increased from a quarter of a million
tons to over four million tons, and that the
United States, which in 1870 supplied but
IL per cent of the worlds output, now fur
nishes about % per cent
No other country shows such a rapid in
crease in coal production as does the United
States. Great Britain's average annual coal
product, as shown by recent and widely
quoted statistical publication of the Swedish
government, in the five-year period 1871 3
amounted to 127,OOO0oO tons, and in 1S91-5
amounted to 1S5,000,O00 tons, an increase of
10 per cent in the average annual output.
Germany's average annual coal product
in the period 1919 was 45,G00,OO tons, and
in the five-year period 1919 was 81, ,O0O, 900
tons, an increase of 115 per cent.
The average annual coal production of
France in the period 1S71-5 was 16,oo0.9O0
tons, and in the term 1S91-5, -, coo, 900 tons,
an increase of 20 per cent.
The average annual coal production of
the United States in the period ISIS was
4o,OG0,0OO tons, and in the period 1S91-5. ac-
cording to our own figures, was 1872, COS, 900
tons, an increase of 1913 per cent.
The average annual output of other
countries not individually specified was in
1St1-o 34,O00,OOO tons, and in 1919 79,000,-
600 tons, an increase of 132 per cent.
The total average annual output of the
world in 1S71-5 was in round numbers 266,-
n
an increase of % per cent. Omitting the
United States. the annual output in 1S11-5
averaged 221 ,@O.NNO TONS and the average
in 1919 was 3SS, COG, 600 tons, an increase of
10 per cent.
Comparing the growth of coal produc
ton of the United States with other parts
of the world in the periods named, the
record stands as follows:

Both The area of coal production and
quantity produced have increased greatly
in the United States. In 1870 the number of
states in which coal was produced was
but twenty, while in 1897 the number was
thirty-two.
In 1870 the production Of anthracite coal
was reported only from Pennsylvania.
while the census of 1880 reports production
in Pennsylvania. Rhode Island and Vir-
ginia, and more recent reports show Il pro-
ductiOn of anthracite coal in Colorado and
New Mexico. In the south the increase has
been especially rapid. Alabama in 1870
mined but 11.0G0 tons of coal. and in 1897
5.262 600 tons. Kentucky which in 1870
mined but 100, 600 tons of coal. produced in
1897 3.216,000 tons. Tennessee increased
her output from 13o, 600 tons - 1870 to
2,5o0001 tons in 1897. and Virginia which
produced but 62Go0 tons in 1870. produced
800 900 tons in 1897
The following tables show the coal pro-
duction of the United States. the exporta-
tion of coal from the United States from
to
