The nation burns 1,825,000 tons of soft coal every day for 300 days The mines produced 2,213,000 tons per day for 230 days There will be a demand for at least 25,000,000 tons more this year than last. That means that the mines will have to operate or work 259 days this year if they can get the labor and the cars. The railroads are in better position to furnish the cars now and the mines can get the labor easier now than they can this fall and winter.
