More Mechanization In Mines Necessary
The Royal Commission on coal notes improved war time market conditions and recent experimental machinery work justify more extensive mechanization in Alberta mines. Inner foothills operators seek modern tech to boost competitiveness, outer foothills show productivity gains possible with more mechanization, and plains may gain from mobile loaders after testing. Edmonton area mines could improve with loading machines and conveyors, usable in summer and winter shifts, prompting a capital investment decision by operators.

Carroll Coal Commission Report Won't Change Canadian Coal Industry
Ottawa correspondent Wilfrid Eggleston reports Canada's coal shortage despite vast reserves. Central Canada uses imported US coal, risking higher costs if tariffs push Canadian coal. Western mines would need tripling output to meet central demand, with marginal gains and broader economic burden. The piece contrasts US geographic and mining advantages with Canada’s deeper, varied seams and seasonal demand impacts.
