While the losses due to the coal and railroad strikes have been "considerable,"' Secretary Hoover said In a statement issued tonight "they are easily, over-estimated." "The estimate of current coal miners' wanes - lost in the five montha (of strike) is not a cor rect basis of the estimation of the Ltotarioss," he said, "because oyer a period of 18 months we probably will consume approximately the same amount of. coal. IA other words the miners will work more days in the week and produe'e more in the next six or eight months than they would have had produced If there had been no strike and thus the wage roll of the next six or eight montha will be larger and in a considerable degree, will compensate the loss during this suspension.
