THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL SUNDAY MORNING, JULY, 20, 1919. 32 COAL SHORTAGE ISfflKNTIN GREAT BRITAIN London. July 18. A shortage of more than 70,000.000,000 tons of coal, as compared with the 1913 output. Is faced by Great Britain In the coming year, according to Sir Auckland Ged dea, president of the board of trade. He announced in the house of com mons, that for the twelve months from July 16 next, when the miner's seven hour day 'comes into effect, the pro duction of British coal Is estimated at between 214.000,000 and 217.000.000 tons. In 1913 the output was 287. 000.000 tons. Those newspapers which champlon a th miners in their successful fight for a shorter working day refuse to concede the claim made by pessi mistic prophets that reduction In hours means a corresponding reduc tion in output, but there is general agreement that war strain and in dustrial unrest have caused a decline for the moment in production per man, and a serious view is taken of the situation. Even if the amount of coal kept for home consumption is held down to the amount used last year on a strict rationing basis, 196.000,000 tons, the export surplus available will amount to about 20,000,000 tons. This, it is said, will have highly serious results, for not only must England's continental allies go with out the coal for which they are al most entirely dependent on Great Britain, but this country itself will be tremendously handicapped by the fact that It no longer will be abl to rely upon coal as a substitute in foreign trade for currency. England, accord ing to analysts of the situation, will now have to pay for her imports in other goods or in money. The increase in the price of coal for domestic consumption is variously es timated at from $1.08 a ton by Sir Auckland Geddes to about $3 by the manager of a Welsh Iron and coal company. This is expected to increase prices In practically all branches of industry. Newspapers say the coal problem affects the entire national life of this country and its world position as a trade as well. FAGIN. SAYS HE STILL BEILEVES BEER IS LEGAL Pittsburg.
