Coal mines in Washington are working only part time now. This is criminal. The country needs all the coal that can be produced. If the fuel administration cannot bring about greater production, what is it accomplishing? It certainly is not accomplishing any results in keeping the prices from going up. Here, in one of the greatest coal belts in the U. S., we are now threatened with a coal famine. A coal famine in Seattle? Ye gods! Whatever the cause of the present curtailment of coal production, it must be removed. This is the time for heroic measures.
