This article focuses on various issues related to politics. The coal shortage which confronts the U.S., and which threatens to bring on a fuel famine next winter for more than one community and even for large sections of the country, is only the American phase of a problem which is staring in the face every country in Europe and bids fair to interfere seriously with the conduct of military operations. As far back as August 20, 1918, the Coal Controller Guy Calthrop, in an address at the conference of the British Miners' Federation, stated that he was faced with a shortage of 36,000,000 tons a year.
