LONDON. June 90 Correspondence
of the Associated Press) A shortage of
more than 70.00o,0 900 tons of coal, as
compared with the 1913 output, is faced

1913 the output was 2s7 100000 tons.

and industrial unrest have caused de-

man, and a serious view is taken of the
situation.
Even if the amount of coal kept foI
home consumption is held down to the
amount used last year on a strict ra
