This states that the total number of persons from Goal mines who joined Bis Majesty's forose up to the end of February, 1915, ia 191.170. From returns representing 89 per cent. of the total labour employed in coal mines it appears that the net decrease in mine Isbour at the end of February amounted to 134,186 persons, or 13 1-2 per cent, of the persons employed in July, 1014, and there has been over the seven monthe, Aug- ast, 1914, to (and inclusive of

The absence from work over all classes of mine workers on the days on which the mines were open to work was for the seven months preceding the war an average of 10.7 per cent, and for the seven months

ceeding the outbreak of war an average of 9.8 per cant. and the committee arrived at the conclusion that fully 4.8 per cent of this is avoidable absence. The absenteeism, taking the cos! get ters only, is very much higher, and were there no avoidable sb- senteeism the output would be increased to the extent of between 18 and 14 million tona, bat per- feotion in this reapect is not to be expected. The committee believe, however, that the case has only to be put before the miners in order to secure a great response on their part, and they suggested that the body best fitted in all re-

the executive of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain. The loss in production for the year commencing from the out- break of war will, unless means
bably amount to 36 million tons, are taken to reduce the loss, pro- against which must be put a probable redaction in the quantity of post exported of 24 millión tons, leaving ■ not shartage million tone, Bat if the minera continue to be rearuited for the force the deficiency will be in- creased. The evidence before the committee is conclusive that if labour is further withdrawn from the collieries (notwithstanding the
of all possible ameliorsuve measures) the output will be so reduced sa to seriously affect the industrial ition
