Old King Coal Again
Rules In Great

Coal again has become econom-

American coal exports, particu-

Nature has given Great Britain
more than half the coal produc-
ton Of continental Europe. and,
aided by cheap transportation
costs, her competition is being
felt by American exporters.
American coal exporters are
now almost entirely out Of he
