FUEL SHORT FOR OLD LAND HOUSES Coal Being Exported to Ob- tain High Prices. .\ despatch from London says:-^ '.Shortage of household ccml which approaches famiiie proporLlons is rc- purtod in many of the thickly-popu- lated districts throughout Great Bri- tain, and is resulting in protests to the Coal Controller from numerous places in Lancashire, South Wales, tho London districts and also from' Ireland. Despite the fact thai official re- turns show u constantly incrc'ising output of coal for several months, excepting during the Christmas and New Year's holidays, poorer citizens have found it virtually impossible to procure even small supplies since the Government announced a reduc- tion of ten shillings on each ton, af- fecting household coal. The distress, therefore, â- '.a acute in the present cold spell. In some places the mimicipal au- thorities hp 'e decided to close the grade schools Ibecause they lack fuel with which to heat, the buildings. Swansea in Wales is one .mstance where this condition prevails. Officials, of the miners' federation allege the shortage of ccal is due to thef act that the hulk of the s' ipply is being sent abroad at huge profits for the owners, who refuse to allow the coal to be sold in Great Britain for household purposes at the Gov- ernment's price. ^.
