Great Brftain,s Coal SupDIy.

Accepting as accurate the statement
recently made in a British Blue Book
as to h visibly diminishing supply of
available coal in Great Britain, il is
somewhat surprising to note that the
Iexports of British coal for the first
lthree-Quarters OF the present year have
been the largest on record, having ex-
lceeded 40, 900, 900 ton 1t is stated in
an English coal trade journal that this
is more than four times the total output
of coal in the United Kingdom in the
first a Of the century. 1t is no won
der that The London Engineer recently
called ~attention to the Importance of
outstanding the coal and keeping 1t for
home consumption instead of exporting
lit to the Continent, where it is used
largely in the manufacturing of articles
which subsequently, enter the British
market in competition with home prod
ucts.
Labor is so much cheaper on the Con-
Itinent than in Great Britain that the
additional cost of fuel and ~transporta-
ltion Is more than offset, and it is stated
that in nine months OF the present year
France took about a million tons more
coal from Great Britain than in the
same period of last year, while Russia
is reported TO have taken more than
4, 200, 900 tons in excess of the quantity
absorbed in any previous corresponding
period. The old methods OF mining coal
in Great Britain were very wasteful,
but in recent years coal cutting ma
Ichinery has been successfully intro
lduced, though at the cost OF a great
strike among the miners IN Wales. Tbs
effort of the miners TO prevent the use
of labor and coal saving appliances was,
Iof course, futile.
