It's troubles are fairly we'll known. They
are due very largely-as has been said
to ov,rdevelopment and production.
Thanks to a number of agreements be-
tween the operators and the men there
have been comparatively few strikes in
recent years.
Coal. Of course. for many years has
been one Of the vital factors in the in
dustrial revolution of the world, in its
various grades. qualities and uses 1t
continues to be a world power"
In spite of its losses in other fields
human effort, soft coal, thanks to the
progress of invention, is finding two
steadily expanding markets. Figures
supplied by the Bureau of Mines show
that the use of its by-products Is be-
coming ever and ever more important.
Almost one-fifth of the total output Of
soft coal today Is being chemically
"processed" for an expanding list OF
uses. Then there is its use in the
generating stations of the vast public
utility systems.
A recent publication Of the Depart
ment OF Commerce. entitled THE Coal
Industry Of the World" estimates that
the reserves Of bituminous coal of the
globe are practically four quadrillions
Of metric TONS. 000, 000. 000. 000. 600
OF which nearly one-han Is in the
United States.
Immediately following the World
War there began an intensive develop
ment Of the soft coal industry. One
OF the largest operators Is quoted as
saying that beginning 1915 every hole
in the ground that looked as II 1t
would yield coal was opened up. Many
mining men made millions then only
to lose them later" This overdevelop-
ment and imitation Of values continued
and one Of their consequences was
that, when the defiation began, min
ers were squeezed out" Of the in.
dustry in ver-increasing numbers.
Production began to decline radically
in 1929, but the decrease in the num-
Der OF miners employed was more rapid
than the decline in production.

Ever since the World War, moreover,
soft coal has suffered increasingly from
competition with oil and gas. both as
a source OF power and heat. There
have been improved methods Of COM
bustion which have decreased demand,
while unregulated wage scales have
made 1t difficult to stabilize production
costs.
The worlds output Of coal had
begun to press on the market. even
before the Great War. Very soon pub
lie attention had been drawn to the
larger business aspects Of the fuel
problem and, owing to war demands,
q considerable impetus was given to
the production Of coal. There was
overproduction in some countries and
an effort to make others economically

In accents Of poignant distress,
OF the fashions too bold which would
