Coal still remains the dominant
driving force of the world. Of the
177,600,000 horse power obtained in
1919 from the only practical sources
on s. commercial scale. coal, petro-
leum. natural gas. and water. coal
furnished 160,600,000, in spite of the
recent increase in the use of petro-
ieum.
Another reason why coal should
interest the average husinesg man
is because about 90 per cent. or the
world's coal comes from only two
areas. which. while large in them-
selves. are very small compared to
the total surface of the earth. One
of these areas embraces the coal
fields of the eastern part or the
United States arid the other includes
Great Britain, Germany Belgium,
and northern France. Likewise the
greater portion or the world’s com-
merce moves to and from these
two areas or back and forth within
them.
U .5. Supply.
The European area supplies about
50 per cent. of the world's coal and
about 40 per cent. comes from the
dustry. Twen
the We

United States field. although these
proportions are rapidly changing.
The coal trade was developed much
earlier in the European area as an
integral part or the development of
steam and power and manufactures.
in fact. as late as 1860 Great Bri-
tain alone produced four-fifths of
the world's coal and while British
output Tncrcased steadily until in
1913 it reached its peak with a pro-
duction of 287,000,000 tons, its pro-
portion of the world's production
sank steadily from 80 per cent. in
1860 to 21 per cent. in 1913. This
relative decrease in the. development
and control of the driving power of
the world was principally due to
the economic rise and development
of the United States and Germany.
with the coal development of
France, Belgium. Austria. and the
rest of the world as contributing
factors.
European Output Low.
Side by side with this change in
proportion of total output. there has
been a steady decline in the output
per man in Europe and an increase
in the output per man in the l'nitmi
States. At the present time, gener-

ally speaking. one coal worker in the
United States produces about three
times as much coal in a year as a
European worker. This is due to
many reasons among which may be
stated that. in the first place the coal
seams in America are closer to the
carth's surface and are (latter and
thicker. Labor-saving machinery is
used to 9. rar greater extent in
America. about 60 per cent or Ameri-
can coal being mined by machinery
and about 15 per cent of European
coal. '
In Germany. France and Belgium
the situation is much the same as in
Great Britain. The small output per
man makes the price or coal high for
manufacturing purposes so that Eu—
rope cannot sell cheaply enough to
dispose of its goods and thus obtain
money to buy more American raw
nlS‘el‘lal. The result is that com-
merce is slowed down at the start.
