The fuel shortage seems to lie due to the labor shortage,
he fact that industry is humming in tike Fast as it lias
. ever heen humming and the fact that upon the United
states has fallen the necessity for suplying some of the
Meeds of" the Allies for coal. Jf the needs of the country
;ould have heen foreseen in time so as to haye, arivuied
or the necessary output from the mines, the present crisis
ouhl have heen averted. The lesson seems to he the en
rollment of an army of laborers who will be shifted from
.lie industry to another as the necessity for labor in in
dustries essential to the welfare of the country becomes
apparent.
