Could Canada come to the rescue of the .warring allies of Europe if those nations con ti nu e bo draft into their fighting armies the 500;- 000 men that are needed to mine and market the coal supply? The coal resoueges ofCanada are estimated at something osier 1,200 billion tons of easily workable -coal, with tin additional 17 billion tons ab depths greater than 4,000 feet, which could he used as a hist re - perm And yet. last year, Canada imported nearly one-half of the coal consumed within , her -borders. The total production cif coal in Canada last year was 15,012,178 tons, and the number' of men em- ployed to mine this coal was about 28,000, of whiph 13,736 in the east - an provinces mined 7,980,000 tons. If Canada could export an appre- ciable amount of coal to Europe it would have to tome from the Mari- time Provinces, which are estimat- ed to hove a total reserve of 10,- 000,000,000 tops. The Maritime - Provinces during 1913, exported 675,000 tons, of which 417,000 tons went to the United St tes a . By far the largest coal fields in Canada are in Alberta, where the estimated reserve is .oven 1,000, 000- 000,000 tons, 'but the long haulage and the leek of machinery and men to work the mines on a Isege scale at a short notice would praceically exclude this enormous' sigeply from Europe. Last year bhe mines of Al - berth produced 3,300,000 tons, val- ued at $8,000,000,.and employed 6,- 650 ine,n. The questioe of obtain- ing labor to work any addibionad mines is quite a peolalene as- min- ers are skilled workmen, anti every miner in Canada is busily engaged.
