COAL is WASTED.
Officers of Federal Survey Discover
Valuable Fuel Is Left.

Officers of Federal Survey Discover
Valuable Fuel Is Left.
Washington, May s.-Coal valued al
$2OO,oO0,O00 is being wasted every year
through improper mining methods. T,
IS estimated by officers of the Fedora
Geological Survey that the loss repre-
sents 20O,o0O,0Oo tons, and that this
amount would supply the country foi
SIX months. The coal is worth at least
81 a ton.
j. A. Holmes, one Of the officers of
the survey, who are trying to solve the
fuel problem, says soday that nearly
half of the total coal supply is left
underground, either as pillars to support
the roof of the mine, or because it is
of an inferior quality.
The investigators find that the waste
Is also due to the fact that the WORKING
out OF the lower beds of coal first in
some cases breaks and renders imprac.
tlcable the subsequent mining of the
adjacent higher coal beds.
We are skimming the cream of tho
natural resources,' said Mr.. Holmes
" and we are using the best and cheap
est of our supplies. Each of the suc.
ceedlng generations will obtain its
needed general supply, but each will
pay higher prices, as mining will con.
tinually grow more expensive and more
dangerous.

In Chicago the fight against the ad-
vance in freight rates will be fought
principally by the Chicago Associa-

nearly all the commercial interests in

meeting today to plan opposition
to the increase in the East at once,
md to pave the way for similar action

country.
1t is said that E. H. Hartman de-
clares it is either case of boosting
rates or cutting the salaries OF the
railroad employees. The railroads fig
