We Can Have Cheaper Coal
Lets have cheaper coal.

Let's have cheaper coal.
All the congregation votes yea.
But the thoughtful brother in the last seat rises TO ask
How are we going to cheaper coal unless we cut
down the miners wages and reduce the railroad mans pay
and the transfers pay and the dealers margin OF profits
Tor all these things go to make up the price oil coai
And if we start reducing wages won't we start an
avalanche of falling prices. labor market demorazauon ana
disturbances and bring about period when having less
money in our pockets shall be better off under re-
duced coal prices than under the present skgh fgures
Still thinking in pre-war grooves isn't he! Ignoring
lessons learned in wartime too.
Coal experts tell valuable clays and btumnous shaes
from which rich oils might be extracted left in most
coal mines utilized in any There are other coa
byproducts to which little attention paid before the
war which if efficiently collected would yield millions OF
dollars annually More machinery could be utiized by
most mines.
Thus fuel could be cheapened without cutting wages
BY more scientific production methods.
OF course the cheapenng process outlined would take
time in development. But it needn't take an age
Let's all join voices Give cheaper coal
What all the people want. that thing they can get by
going after and asking for it.
