DEMAND FOR COAL
A BRITISH PROBLEM
MEASURES NEEDED TO MEET
(Rec. 1 p.m.)
RUGBY, June 20
Stating that immediate action to secure increased coal production is imperative, the latest report of the Select Committee on National Expenditure appointed by the House of Commons to examine war expenditure says it has become evident that the steadily increasing home demand for industrial coal supplies can only be met, first, if thousands of experienced miners, now in the army and various industries, are released to return to the pits; second, if, by hearty co-operation between the owners and workers the output can be steadily increased and sustained by reducing idle time and absenteeism to a minimum; and, third, if users of i coal, coke, gas, and electricity for domestic purposes exercise economy to an extent which few have yet at-, tempted to achieve.—B.O.W.
