upon

of

the

DECREASE
IN'
COAL
MINING
Of
the
Industries
which
show
a
decreased
payroll,
the
most
conspicuous
is
coal
mining.
The
reduction
of
Its
payroll
by
over
8600,000
may
be
due
partly
to
the
severe
competition
of
oil
fuel
In
Its
various
forms,
and
partly
also
to
the
extreme
mildness
of
the
winter
of
1925-26,
necessitating
less
than
tht
normal
consumption
of
domestic
coal
However,
the
first
few

of

have
witnessed
a
notable
Increase
In

production
In
