Excerpt from The Coal Trade, 1920, Vol. 47: The Year Book of the Coal and Coke Industry The present volume of the coal trade marks the forty-seventh annual edition of this work, which has come to be recognized as the Blue Book of the Coal and Coke Industry. In line with the advances that have been made in the fuel business since the modest initial volume appeared, it is only natural that the present edition should be the largest in size and the widest in scope yet published. In the compilation of the material incorporated in the pages that follow, two purposes have been kept in view: first, to bring down to the latest available dates the various statistical tables that give a publication of this nature its value for comparative purposes over a series of years; second, to incorporate in it new matter that would make the edition truly representative of the develop ments peculiar to the past coal and calendar years and consonant with the widen ing interest in coal topics here and abroad.
