The Dominion of Canada is said to contain one-half of the available coal resources of the world. In spite-of this the people of Canada send sJ120.000.000 in each and every year to the owners of coal mines in ttieXlriited States for fuel supplies, and on top of this it is estimated they send from $40,000 to $50,-000 to railways in the United for the hauling of the United States ooal into Canada. These figures, which are believed to be approximately correct, shout! suggest to the public* men of the dominion that something is wrong with their pys-tem which permits* Canadian mines to remain idle, and the Canadian government railway to be deprived of a legitimate freight tonnage, to the end that employment be furnished the miner and railroad man in the United States and profits for the owners of the "United States mines.
