PRODUCT OF SLACK COAL LONDON, July 28. The dawn of an important commercial enterprise, which may_ make Britain independent of foreign oil supplies, was indicated by the Duke of Montrose in addressing representatives of coal, iron, and steel trades. The Duke announced that the process for transforming millions of tons of slack coal, worth from 2s to 3s a ton, into valuable smokeless fuel and oil was the result of distillation experiments at Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Leicestershire. The output, he said, was 300 tons a day.
