Seniors Down Juniors The Seniors lost to the Juniors in the game which was played in the Armory on Monday, February 18. The game was rather slow throughout, and the passing was poor on both sides, al though the Juniors were superior to the Serums in this respect. There was also much poor shooting, and both sides lost sonic good opportunities for scor ing After a few minutes of very slow playing, at the beginning of the game, the score was tied. The Juniors soon got ahead, however, and they remained well in the lead during the remainder of the game. The final score was 35 to 23 Freshmen vs. Juniors The Freshmen were victorious over the Juniors in one of the best of the interclass games last Friday.

The coal mining industry has been one of the heaviest losers in the A:•my draft, having lost over• ii . per cent, which combined with the loss of foreign miners, returning to theh• respective countries to take up arms, has made a decided shortage, yet in spite of the shrinkage in the labor supply the pro duction of coal has increased as noted Warning has been given by one high in authority in the anthracite business that the anthracite production has reached its high-water mark and must ultimately decline. Not so inii^t with the bituminous coal production but through the intense effort to dig more and more coal the mines will suffer and much coal will be lost. Further, there is loss and Paste resulting other than in inefficient methods of mining; fa•, due to haste and cal elessness, the per centage of waste left in the coal mined is constantly increasing; in fact it Is claimed that it has doubled during the past tear and that the avisage is now not fat from 18 pet cent. What does this mean? It means reducing trans portation facilities, cutting down the efficiency of bodeis for steam pi educ tion, increasing the price of fuel, and re ducing the efficiency of the navy as a fighting machine - and the mei chant matins as a caviler of men, munitions, and supplies.

The Fuel Administration and certain Governmept officials lay the blame on the railroads, while Otheis equally- in formed claim that is not the railroads but the ill-considered and inefficient methods of admfiustering the fuel con trol that is at fault Lack of intimate knowledge of the business of mining and marketing coal by thoge in charge of the fuel administration is undoubted ly 1 esponsible for much of the trouble that has arisen. Coal rlbut ing C'all'NeS We may outline a few of the contrib uting causes as follov,s: The price filed for coal was for mine-ion, thus vilding to the tonnage but decreasing the qual ity through increased waste; no equit able disci imination was made between mining thick and thin beds of coal, which - resulted in the :losing of many mines, the refusal of tl e Fuel Ad minisCrator to permit the opening of new mines, the lack of an adequate zoning of the country by which the eariouti sections could, lie best sin ved; and last, but not least, the policy of keeping the business of administiation in the hands of those not interested and espetienced .a the coal industry. Further, many of the members of the local administration are Licking in ee verience in handling problems in volving exceptional business ability and acumen. The loss of wages and manufactures due to the "closing-down" order is as tounding and entirely out of proportion to the saving of fuel secured, for in stance, in New York City the if/SS of tAages amounted to $357,493,000 and of manufactin es $1,063,677,000, while the coal saved s‘as valued at $31,000,395, In I'hiladelphla the loss of wages was 3213,757,436,903. Lack of coal for domestic purposes, heating„ etc., caused an excessive drain upon the gas supply of the large cities. 111 New York City the consumption for the last three elas of 1917 was 460,613- (100 cu. ft, a gain of 41.16 per cent over a like period during 1916.

'lmmediately prior to the beginning of war in Europe 1000 carloads of coal were sold at tide-water for $1.50 per ton, a price that would not pay trans poi Cation charges, to say nothing of meeting the expenses of production Stimulated by the great demand for fuel the coal trade experienced a most osperous period. which continued up to - the time when "price-fixing" was ina ugura ted After .1 careful review of the events Of the three years beginning with 1911 a few fundamental facts stand out prominently, nauucly• In older that the coal trade may pi osper there must be an active mar het at fair prices, the labor supply must be ample and Al:4;es must lie attractive, and railroads must be equipped to properly handle the coal mined.
