OUR COMING COAL SUPREMACY
That the United States will soon
become the chief source of coal sup
ply of the world is the belief ex
pressed in the November issue of
Commerce Monthly, the magazine of
the National Bank of Commerce in
New York.
It is pointed out that this country,
although it produces more than half
of the world’s coal, has in the past
left the export trade domination in
this commodity to England, whose de
posits are but a small percentage of
ours. England, however, with produc
tion dwindling as a resultvof the war
and her labor unrest, seems inevi
tably bound to yield place to us.
“More than half of the total coal
resources of the world are located in
the United States,” Commerce Monthly
says. “During the past ten years pro
duction of coal in the United States
has developed remarkably, showing in
1918 an increase of 32 per cent over
the average production during the five
years 1909 to 1913. The most rapid
increases in production have taken
place in Illinois and West Virginia,
the output of the former of these
states for 1918 being 31.000,000 tons
and of the latter 24,000,000 tons over
1909 to 1913 average. Pennsylvania
increased her bituminous output 22,
000.000 tons, as compared with her av
erage of 1909 to 1913, and anthracite
production for 1918 was 11,000,000
tons over the average for the same
period.
"While American coal production j
in 1918 broke all records, output for]
tne current, year win »<• -jo..,.. .
that level. If the present rate of out
put is maintained, anthracite produe-1
tion will he about 7(1,000.000 tons and j
bituminous production 432,000,000 \
^jtons, a total of 508,000,000 tons, the;
lowest production since 1015. It is be
lieved that anthracite production is
adequate, but at the present time it
is not possible to determine whether
oi- not the country faces an actual
shortage of bituminous coal during the
coming winter.
“The acute problem is not, how
ever, the domestic but the interna
tional coal situation. The present
shortage in Europe is due to many
causes, chief among them being the
shortage of labor, reduction in hours
of work, and more than all, a general
state of industrial unrest and disorgan
ization as a result of the war. These
factors have all contributed to an
enormous increase in the cost of pro
duction, variusly estimated at from
75 to 150 per cent over the cost of
production in 1015. Prior to the war
the coal importing countries of
Europe were supplied by Great Brit
ain, Germany and, to a small extent,
by Belgium. Although Germany was
bound under the peace treaty to de
liver 43,000,000 tons of coal to France
in the next six months, she was not
able to furnish this amount, and the
requirement was reduced to 20,000,000
tons. Belgian coal production is pro
ceeding at a satisfactory rate. Iler
small exports, however, are not a
large factor in meeting the European
situation. Great Britain has been the
world’s greatest exporter of coal, both
in the form of coal for bunkerage and
exports in the strict sense.
