Critical Coal Condition Due to Labor Shortage THE last reports of the United States Geological Sur vey indicate that the average daily production of coal is running considerably behind the production of last year. We cannot see any possibility of a sur plus of coal, for the following reasons: During the early part of the year, when the mines were only running a small part of their capacity, many laborers left the field and went into other lines of industrial activ ities. A great many others, since the sign ing of the armistice, have secured passports to return to European countries and the total number of coal miners who have left our shores is estimated at about 40,000, with the number increasing every day. It is next to impossible to get native American labor to work in anthracite coal mines. With thousands of coal miners leaving monthly, who will produce coal for us next winter, when the demand becomes insistent? The outlook is not cheerful, particularly when it is re membered that there is more than likely to be car short age during the crop-moving period. The next advance in coal prices will be in September. No one knows how many more advances will be put into effect before April, 1920. What are you going to do when you need coal next winter and cannot get a supply? United Ice & Coal Co.

Washington, Aug. 23.—As a step toward conserving the decreasing supply of American pulp wood used In the manufacture of news print paper, Senator Watson, Republican, Indiana, to-day introduced 4 reso lution authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture to make a survey and preliminary investigation of the na tion's available pulp wood timber supply. The Secretary also would be directed to make recommenda tions for pulp wood utilization. The | sum of 8100,000 is asked to carry I on the survey and investigation. "Two thirds of the news nrint ] paper used by American newspa pers," he said, "is imported or is I manufactured from wood or pulp j imported from Canada. One-third t is made in the United States from I wood grown in the United States, j The former proportion is steadily I increasing, the latter is steadily de i creasing." "Nearly all of the American news print manufacturing industry is lo cated in the Northeastern States— half of it in New York," he con tinued. "But in the Pacific North west—Washington, Oregon and part of California—and the inland em pire of Montana and Northern Idaho are "great forests that have been no more than touched by the few pulp mills in that section of the country." Enormous Supply In Alaska He said that in Alaska are enor mous areas of forests, the annual growth of which would supply pulp for half of the news print paper used in the United States, but no pulp mills are there. He warned that American news papers are being more and more dependent upon foreign sources for the raw material from which news print paper is made; the raw ma terial is being exhausted in the sec tion where the domestic industry is concentrated and mills are moving from this country to Canada, while at the time the United States con tains forest resources in the north west and Alaska that promise abun dant. supply for many years, and indefinitely under proper conserva tion if the industry can be built up in these regions. The importance of a permanent domestic news print industry was emphasized. Hp also recommended that the forest service of the De partment of Agriculture be encour aged in its work to present Amer ican newspapers from becoming to tally dependent upon a foreign sup ply. To stimulate American pro duction, he said, the following gov ernmental policy should be car ried out: An immediate and adequate gov ernmental survey of American re sources in this field. Immediate steps to bring about the practice of forestry and the con servation of forests in the pulp pro ducing regions, to the end that the annual inroads upon the forests will be lessened and eventually will be no more than equal to the annual growth.
