Crest in Production Of Anthracite Coal
Has Been Reached. Expert Says.
New York, Feb 1S.-There is little
prospect for the return of lower coal
prices. even after the war, the American
Institute of Mining Engineers was told
to-day by Edwin Ludlow of the Lehigh
Coal & Navigation company. He said he
believed the crest in the production of
anthracite coal has been reached In
America and that the only hope for lower
prices lies in the conservation Of coal sup
plies.
Goal will always be sufficiently ex-
pensive in this country" ne said, ito call
for our most earnest efforts at conserva-
ton. Very few mines I believe will be
discovered in future and the efforts of
the mines must be devoted to the speeding
up Of production. This. with better trans
portation facilities, may bring a measure
of relief in time"
