C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. | NEW YORK, November 11.—The increase in the price of bituminous | coal has turned the attention of in- | dustry in all parts of the country | toward more economical use of that - | fuel. Today, experiments are going forward in scorves of plants in an | effort to cut fuel costs. These in- | volve pulverization of both high and |low cost fuel, distillation of liquid fuels from coal, complete gassifica- | tion of coal, elimination of smoke and other problems. Adherents of pulverization of coal asserted today that this method had resulted in stretching 10 tons of al to do the work formerly done 12, which would mean a saving of 4,000,000 tons yearly. Permits Use of Low Grades. Palverization of coal, they say, permits the use of fuel of so low a ctade as otherwise to be useless. | The Central Railrond of Brazil, for »xample, operates with a pulverized “oal of uch poor quality that it will 1t burn well unless powdered. On the other hand, the Portland ement industry, largest user of yulverized fuel, uses an extremely 3 x.mdn of coal in order to attain since temperatures ap- 3,000 degrees are neces- Ay cony raw material to ment The industry consumes | oie §,000,000 tons of pulverized cual | mnuall Commercial and id S, 1t industrial power | slants also have adopted the use of pulverized coal to a large extent.
