Report on the British Coal Industry;

Abstract

IN 1925 a Royal Commission, presided over by Sir Herbert Samuel, heard evidence and later published a report. Much has been written about the coal industry since, but the report of the industry now under review is the most comprehensive that has appeared in the last ten years. It is necessarily a long document because it contains evidence to substantiate the opinions expressed therein.
