SUGGESTS MEMUND COAL
i STORAGE FOR ACCUMULATION
:
n
WASHINGTON. Jan. 17— Under
ground .storage of coal at the mines
is suggested by H. Foster Bain, c
rector of the lTnitcd States Bureau
of Minos, as a practical stop to
ward tlie accumulation of reserves of
fuel necessary to stabilize industry
md ,to protect the domestic eon
■umer in periods ot acute shortage.
Storage Is Needed
The souK-enal demand for coal can
o some extent lie mot by storage
Director Bain raid in a report to the j
i'nited States Coal Commission, 1
- liis must be done by the consume:'1
or by some distribution agency oper-1
.e ng between hint and the mine. A ]
he mines the beat place to store,
oal is In the ground, ns with unim !
octant exceptions it i t not feasible j
o provide nt re titan a limited
amount of storage above ground.
System of Piles
Anthracite companies established
near points of consumption a system
,,f great storage piles which were
valuable balance wheels to the tra le
and have facilitate.I steadiness of
ipfr.ition which distinguishes anthra
cite from bituminous mining, Dr.
(lain said. Barge scale storage of
bituminous coal lias been less prac
icable because the uncertainty of fu
ture parted* has deterred companies
md individuals from making the
necessary investments. However,
in certain periods as much as 60,000,
gone into storage, showing the
feasibility of storing soft coal.
With proper selection of thp^coal
tnd due attention to modest require
ments as to methods, it Is eutirelv
praetioahie to store large quantit'i3t.
,-f most coal ut moderate cost, he
continued. Tio risk is in the un
certain Mes of future price, as (he
nine and railway equipment of the
country is extensive enough -to al
low the industry, except under ^un
usual conditions, to obtain adequatc
upplles direct from the mines. Coal
shortage and car shortage is a lo
cal matter in normal years. The
nation ha's put men and money into
coal mining and the railways to meet
peak loads rather thin provide a
less amount Of capital for coal stor
es1 and so in are ■ : ady . ; i eco
nomical operation.
The pas.thillt.v cf devising a “use"
classification 1hat will permit wider
pooling of coal ia also suggested by
111'1 Director. Such pooling would re
lievo the presuire on docks, termin
als and railway equipment, he de
clared.
