American Industry.With-out coal our industry could not have been de-veloped and without coal it cannot live.\"Foodand water alone outrank coal among the ne-cessities of life.\"\"If the coal mines wereclosed the people of the United States wouldsoon be cold,idle and hungry.”More thanforty per cent of the world's coal productionis mined in the United States.This countryproduces over five hundred million tons of bi-tuminous and ninety million tons of anthra-cite coal yearly.  \nAt  \nA  \nThree-fourths of this coal becomes inter-state commerce.Twenty-five per cent feedsthe furnaces of our factories and mills andfifteen per cent is required to operate our gasplants and coke ovens.Twenty-eight per centof it is used for railroad fuel.It is the larg-est single item of railroad traffic and railroadrevenue.  \nMore than half of our homes are heatedwith coal.“The substitute fuels,gas and oil,deservedly popular as they are,must be re-garded as of passing interest compared withcoal,\"states the U.S.Coal Commission in itsPrincipal Findings and Recommendations.Coal is indispensable to life on the farms andin our cities and its need is equally impera-tive in every economic field.  \nThe value of every piece of property andthe continued operation of every importantbusiness is dependent upon an uninterruptedcoal supply.  \nThree-quarters of a million men are em-ployed in the coal mining operations carriedon in twenty-nine states.  \nKINDS OF COAL  \nThe convenient commercial classification ofcoals is:Anthracite,Semi-anthracite,Semi-bituminous,Bituminous,Sub-bituminous andLignite.Anthracite coals are the hard coals;Bituminous and Lignite,the soft coals.  \nCoal consists of the minute remains of veg-etable matter that have been preserved,underwater,from complete decay.  \nFor commercial purposes the composition ofcoal is usually reported by chemists as con-sisting of moisture,fixed carbon,volatile mat-ter and ash.Fixed carbon is the chief heat-producing constituent of coal;consequentlythose coals having a high percentage of fixedcarbon are the best fuels.  \nThe heating value of coal is most commonlyexpressed in the number of British ThermalUnits(B.T.U.'s)per pound of coal it willyield on burning.A\"B.T.U.\"is the quan-tity of heat required to raise the temperatureof one pound of water one
