an opportunity OF purchasing coal at

tied up during the simmer months, at

II the coal mines are operated 23o
days year with the same number OF
miners II has been estimated that
some s00.000,000 tons can be produc.
ed. The demand for coal In this coun-
try Is growing rapidly. The demand
for export coal is very heavy, and
Europe viii need from 100,o00,0Oo to
15O,000,000 tons. So the increased
production through the operation OF
the mines will be needed. Interstate

According to Senator Ffelhghuysen
an estimate has been made that the
adoption Of such a general plan
would result m saving sl,0e0,oO0 1000

to the failure Of the coal industry
