• We publish elsewhere an article on the Smoke- Abatement

Conference at Birmingham. Here we desire to ask a simple question. Mr. Munro, of Glasgow, who spoke at the Conference said that in Glasgow smokeless fuel was being sold in the streets at less than the price of ordinary coal. Assuming that he was not referring to coke we should like to know what this fuel is. Perhaps one of our readers can tell us.
