Two developments that mark a rev.

have received little attention on this
side Of the Atlantic aitho they may
find reflection here in time. One Of
them Is In the matter OF coal. Most
OF the great coal beds Of Britain are
owned by ducal or other old families,
who got large grants OF land CEN
turtles ago because some soldier or
or. possibly. female among
the ancestors Of the present owners
won the favor OF n king.
In the recent coal inquiry the COM
mission called upon the dukes. the
lords and others in whom title TO the
coal lands rests TO bring forth the Or

work the mines. but the vast major

them to individuals or companies.
