There is no likelihood of the
Dominion of Canada ever having to
contend with coal strike such as
this country is now suffering from.
Years ago that government set aside
fifty square miles of the coal lands of
the northwest as government property.
Such condition in this country would
prove an excellent balance wheel for
the coal trust.
