Rapid Modernization Need
By Ailing Coal Industry
Washington. Mar. 23 ttJ.PJ
Rapid and radical modernization
is needed to get the ailing coal
industry back on its feet.
Government experts and pro
ducers agree on the need for
even more progressive mining
and distribution methods than
the industry has developed in the
past few decades.
Competition from cheaper,
less bulk and relatively "labor
less" fuels have coal on the de
fensive. Economists look for
coal's market position to continue
downward this year.
Same Product
One economist says flatly that
coal in its present unwieldly and
expensive form can never re
capture markets from oil and
natural gas because "the indus
try is putting the same product
into the market as it did when
the first ton was mined."
His long-range solution is con
version directed into gas, liquid
or electric power as coal is min
ed or even without taking it
from the ground. Bureau of
mines experiments already have
shown that this soon will oe
feasible.
Transportation and storage
costs could be eliminated by im
mediate conversion, along with
middlemen fees which add even
more to the consumer's bill.
Operators prefer to confine
their attention to more immedi
ate problems. How. to wipe out
last year's financial losses? How
to attract new venture capital
to pay for improved techniques?
They disagree publicly at
least with the notion that the
industry is flat on its back.
Point To Strides
They point to strides in me
chanization, increased maiviauai
productivity by the mines, and
production tailor-made to con
sumers' specifications for qual
ity and size.
One of the industry's biggest
bogies appears to be fear of na

Not long jgo i recommended my dentist, Dr. Mohr, to one of
my patrons. After finishing her work he sent me a very nice
card expressing his gratitude for my thoughtfulness. it was a
gesture I liked very much.
I only wish I too might do the same but of course I don't have

tionalization, or even TVA-like
operation as proposed by a num
ber of students of power problems.
That is one reason for their
opposition to president Truman's
proposal tor a coal lact-tincung
commission to make an exhaus
tive study of what the chief ex
ecutive calls a "sick" industry.
They fear this might be a step
toward more government control.
They say that with "free col
lective bargaining" which would
permit them to regulate costs
and more technological pro
gress they will be ready to take
on any competition.
Competition To Grow
They admit privately, too, that
competition will grow from with
in the industry itself as com
panies race each other for fewer
customers.
The immediate future will see
less coal sold on contract and
more on the open market. Many
contracts are expiring now and
tne producers concede tney win
be hard to renew.
But the synthetics program is
moving ahead, despite tempor
ary abandonment of the indus
try's most ambitious private pro
ject in the field.
Early this year the world's
largest commercial producer,
George H. Love's Pittsburgh
Consolidation Coal Co., called off
a multi-million dollar project at
Library, Pa., for making gas and
gasoline lrom coal.
Love save as reasons strikes
by the united mine workeres,
which made supplies "unreli
able," and the difficulty of find
ing new investors.
However, other industry re
search programs, notably those
carried on jointly with tne gov
ernment, are being intensified.
Unmined Coal Burned
At Gorgas, Ala., the bureau of
mines is experimenting with
burning unmined coal under
"controlled conditions" to pro
duce gases that will offer low-
cost fuel for generating electric
power,
At Louisiana, Mo., the bureau
is working on coal hydro-gena-
tion for the production of gaso
line and valuable industrial
chemcials.
The urgency of the synthetic
programs is underlined Dy tne
fact that coal accounts for 95.5
per cent of our entire known
fuel reserve.
Put another way, coal supplies
are practically unlimited 1,000
years is a conservative guess
while known reserves of oil and
natural eas would last only 12
and 15 years, respectively, if
used at the present rate and new
fields were not found. However,
the discovery of new oil and gas
deposits is keeping pace with
consumption.

As an incentive to local farm boys and girls to turn their wood lots
and small timber tract into money-making properties, four college
scholarships of $300 each are being offered again this year in the 4-H
Club forestry project. All 4-H Club members, working under Exten
sion Service supervision and enrolled during the current year in a 4-H
Club forestry project, are eligible to?
compete for national awards.
A i in previous years, top awards
will be nude on a sectional basis to the
boy or girl having the best forestry
record in each $i the four Eitension

ners will be given all -expense-paid trips
to the 29th National 4-H Club Con
gress to be held in Chicago, November
2(5-30 inclusive. Medals will be awarded
to each state winner.
This is the third consecutive year
American Forest Products Industries,
a national non-profit association of
wood-dependent industries, has spon
sored the 4-H Club forestry project.
In the past two years' competition,
eight of the college scholarships and
free trips have been won by farm
youths from the states of Arkansas,
Georgia, Idaho, Montana, New York
and Wisconsin, the latter two states
having had national winners both
yean.
"It is most gratifying to see the up
surge of interest in forestry that U
being shown by 4-H Club memben
everywhere, declared Charles A. Gil
lett, managing director of American
Forest Products Industries, in announc
ing the association's continuing spon
sorship of the scholarship awards for
1950. "These young people are learn
ing the basic fundamentals of sound
timber management and how to apply
them to the farm woodlots of Amer
ica. Certainly this assures an even
greater progress in private forest man
agement in the next half century and
an ever increasing wood supply for this
Nation and the world."
The local county extension agent
will supply detailed information about
the 4-H forestry project and the 1910
awards awaiting those boys and girls
who excel in forestry.
