ABUNDANCE OF COAL
 WILL CLOSE MINES Many Miners Will Be Thrown Out of Work by OVerprOductiOn

Indianapolis, April 2S.-Numerous coal mines will be closed permanently and many miners will resort to other work during the next three years, in the opinion Of the United Mine Work CTS Journal, official publication of the limited Mine Workers Of America.
 These two actions will have stabi- lizins effect on the coal business for fsgill relieve the existing condition of too many miners and too many mines, according to the Journal. With the wage question settled for three years. each coal company knows just what its labor cost will be. Those which can operate and make money will continue in business, while the others aill close, the Journal says.
 Tt has been apparent for a long lime that there are too many bitumin- aus mines" the article continues. There is a normal demand for ap- proximsteiy boO,000,oo0 tons Of bi- luminous coal annually, while the mines now Tn OperstlOn or m eAS- [, nee end ready for operation. could easily produce nearly 1,060. .000. .0oo .ons of coal each year. Thus, there is g capacity to produce twice as much coal as the market could absorb. This means, alse, that there are more people engaged in mining than are required ts produce sufficient quan- iity of osNI to meet the demand"
 Theer k demand for labor in other industries and men who arc un- able to retain permanent Employment inths mines can secure work in other lines. The Journal adds that Secre- iary of Labor Daxis has informed it The entire resources of that depart nent will help place the men. secre- fary Davis said the director Of the federal Employment Bureau Of the Department Of Labor has arranged to receive applications for employ ment snd to assist applicants throughout the country.
