BRITAIN’S COAL OUTPUT
LAST YEAR’S LOW RECORD. LONDON, February 15. The Board of Trade review of the coal-mining industry during 1932, and the fourth quarter of the year, was published last night.

Except for the years 1921 and 1926, when there were national and prolonged stoppages of the industry, this output is the lowest in any years since 1898.
