If your stomachisacid> Gsturbed, dissolve two or three KI-MaIDS ee that coal forms the essential basis for all industry at the present time, as: is demonstrated by the clos- ing down of industries ag Soon as coal Supplies are cut off. The state has created an industrial ‘commission, and has under way plans for State owned industries, The state. edueational charitable, and penal institations now consume approxiniately 60.000 tons of lignite coal per year, The industries -how under way will use approximately 40,000 tons more, making 4 total of 100,000 tons consumed by .the jstate in-, stitutions each year. The «average price of coal purchased by the state now $2.50 per ton at the mines, mid ‘the supply of each. particular preparation of coal is frequently un- certain, We can prove that a proper- ly equipped underground mine can produce coal at the present time at a Cast of not to exceed $1.70 per ton. Exact figures are not avail- able .but numerous authorities con- tend that a strip mine, equipped with the latest type of machinery, can pat | coal on cars for less than $1,00.per ton, ‘There is an abundance of strip ping coal available in North Dakota. RECOMMENDS STATE MINE “On this basis the state could open a mine aid make a flat saving on its own fuel requirements of $80,000.00 to $150,000.00 per year, and could in addition make a good profit on hun-) dreds of ‘thousands of tong. of coal it could mine and<sell in addition to its own consumption, and get coal to the-consumer cheaper than it js now furnished, The state would also be position to put in crushers and screening machinery ‘and make uni- form prepafations of coal for all state institutions, thereby effecting addi-} tional savings, and economies. As. au iHustration-of the savings that could he effected, the operating figures dur. ing state operation, can be used. For} instance the overhead charges amount to approximately 50 cents per ton or on an annual preduction - of $00,000 tons, $400,000, With state owned mines, haying as a foundation for development ‘a sale of 100,000 tons per year to state institutions, ‘the over: head charges could no doubt be r dutéed to 25 cents per ton, thus saving $200,000 per year on overhead charges alone, This amoutt of money would equip one very good coal mine, if! properly expended. ~ “Retail methods of distribution are almest as wasteful-as present mining methods and should he made the Sub- jeat of every interésting investigation. In conclusion, 1 wish to. call special attention to the fact that in taking over of the coal mines by the state and their operation~during the strike | period, a number of most satisfactory things were omplished ; “First: Assuming that the strike m North Dakota liad lasted long as in ‘the bituminous -fieldis, there would, have undoubtedly been much suffering and: consequent loss of life. from lack of fuel. This feature of benefit cannot be computed in dollars and_ cents, 3 “Second; Assuming* the — strike ; period to have lasted. From Nov. Ast | to Dee. 10th. ‘as in: bituminous fields | there would have heen a loss of $100,- 000 in employees wages, ‘ “Third: ‘The operatons of the mineg would. have ‘lost the, amount of over: head expenses for that period which | wo la they would have heen at heavy expense’ to. clean up their mines to resume operfitiens, and lost some de- velopment work that never could have heen recovered; in addition they would have lost the 25 cents per ton | that was allowed, them by the “state. therefore the operators benefitted hy | many thousands of dollars, \from state | operations, “Fourth: The public got the coal it needed and at no increase in price. “Therefore, viewing the entire m: ter from any: angle one must con- cede that. the public. the mine workers and the operators all benefitted. most satisfactorily from the state operation of min 1d have yun into thousands of. dol-; | “No More Getting Up Mights!
