Pennsylvania Alone Produces 250,000,000 Tons Every Year © New York, Dec. 20.—At the pres- ent coal shortage in the United States is due to causes other than lack of output by our mines, is indicated by a compilation by the National City Bank of New York, which estimates our to- tal output of 1917 as greater than in any earlier year and shows that the United States actually produces nearly 45 per cent. of the coal of the world. In 1860 we were producing less than 10 per cent. of the world’s coal out- put; in 1870 15 per cent.; in 1880 21 per cent.; in 1890 34 per cent.; in 1910 43 per'cent.; in 1916 44 per cent. and the 1917 record When completed will probably show our share of the world’s output fully 45 per cent. The coal production of the United States grew from less than a half mil- Hon short tons in 1830 to 2,000,000 tons in 1840; 15,000,000 in 1860; 71,- 000,000 in 1880; 158,000,000 in 1890; 270,000,000 in 1900; 502,000,000 in 1910; 590,000,000 in 1916 and estimat- ed at 650,000,000 short tons in 1917, Pennsylvania is by far the largest coal producing state, her total output aggregating nearly 250,000,000 tons against about 80,000,000 in West Vir- ginia, 60,000,000 in Illinois, 23,000,000 in Ohio, 21,000,000 in Kentucky, 17,- 000,000 in Indiana and 15,000,000 in Alabama. Practically all of the an- thracite coal produced in the United States is mined in the state of Penn- sylvania, where it forms about .one- third of the total output.’ Present in- dications are that the anthracite pro- duction of 1917 will aggregate about 100,000,000 short tons out of a total coal production of approximately 650,- 000,000 short tons in the entire United States. The United States has been for many vears the world’s largest producer of coal. In 1913 the year preceding the War and tho latest normal year for ‘world production, the United - States produced 570,000,000 short tons agalnst 322,000,000 in Great Britain; 806,000,000 in Germany; 60,000,000 in Austria - Hungary; 45,000,000 in France; 36,000,000 in Russia; 25,000,- 000 in Belgium and 24,000.000 in Ja- pan. The total world product of that year was 1,478,000,000 tons, our share of that total being approximately 38 ver cent. In 1916 our share of the world’s produict was about 44 per cent. and in 1917 will presumably approxi- mate 45 per cent. ‘The United States is quite naturally the largest coal producer of the world. According to the Bank’s statement its coal supply far exceeds that of any other country, her estimated supply being 3,527,000,000,000 short tons against 180,000,000,000 in Great Brit- ain the next largest producer; 164 000,060,000 in ‘Germany which rs a coal producer.

Notwithstanding the fact that we have by far the world’s largest supply and are also the world's ldargest pro- ducer of coal, our exports arc much less than those of certain other coun- tries having: a much smaller supply.

The to- tal value of coal exported from the United States in the fiscal year 1917 was $83,000,000 against $65,000,000 in 1913; of this $85,000,000 worth expornt- ed in 1917, $58,000,000 went to Cana- da, $5,000,000 to Cuba, about $7,000,-y 000 to South America and $350,000,000 to Italy. The quantity of coal consumed on the oceans of the world by vessels en- gaged in international trade and the navies of the various countries is esti- mated by the Bank at about 75,000,- 000 tons per annum, valued at approx- imately 3250,000,000, these figures re- latingto conditions preceding the war. The total quantity at the present time is doubtless materially less, both by reason of the reduction in the number of vessels engaged In ocean transpor- tation and the further fact that many of the vessels are now using oil for fuel instead of coal.

These clerks and stenographers are coming from all parts of the United States. The following statement comes from the Ordnance Department: Realizing that contentment is a large factor in esprit de corps, ‘the Gun Di- vision of the Ordnance Corps, War De- partment, has undertaken on a large scale welfare work, including housing arrangements, for the benefit of its 1,500 employes, the majority of whom are young women, and even arranging social affairs for them. As newcomers, especially young wo- men, and &ven arranging social af- fairs for them. ‘As newcomers, especially young wo- men, are at a disadvantage in finding accommodations in crqwded Washing- ton, the Division has made its own housing arrangements, with such suc- cess that none of its members is now looking for rooms. A volunteer com- mittee of wives of the Army officers connected with the Division prepared a list of rooms which was thoroughly investigated by the two experienced welfare workers on the rolls of the Division, Mrs. Mary C. D. Johnson and Mrs. L. H. Printup.. Practically all of these were in private homes, few of them being in boarding houses. The Division maintains a trained nurse who renders first aid to the foroe, and who has been prompt in informing the District of Columbia health authori- ties of any cases of indisposition likely to develop into contagious disease. Believing that social life is necessary to the mantenarice of morale, the wel- fare worker have arranged for the em- ployees all sorts of social affairs, and have not neglected to enlist the en- thusiasm of the girls in war work.
