The anthra- cite mines have a full car supply, but below normal because and shortage of labor. both east thelr output is of heavy snow The freight blockade, and westbound, is now worse than at any previous time, chiefly because of weather conditions, All the coal that the United States meeds for to-day and for years’ to mines at present are worse than a year ago. They are operating about 75 per cent. of capacity, Production during October, November and De- comber, 1916, and in January, 1917, was 44,800,000, 44,900,000, 44,100,000 and 47,800,000 tons, Production dur- ing October, November and Decem- ber, 1917, was 47,600,000, 47,700,000 and 42,000,000 tons, and January, 1918, may not exceed the December figures. Tho primary trouble 1s transportation at the mines. the past eight weeks the lack of cars to haul coal from the mines has pre- lack of 20,000,000 tons of bituminous coal, chiefly in the great coal upon which industrial Ohlo, Penn- sylvania, New Jersey, New York and New England are dependent. Some districts which produce smokeless coal, absolutely necessary for transports, naval vessels and munition carriers, have had their production cut in half by the lack of cars and the inability of the roads to move cars when loaded. MINERS IDLE TWO DAYS OUT OF THREE. In the Western fields of Wert Vir- ginia during the first two weeks of| January 10,000 mine employees have been idle two days out of every three cause no, cH were available, acks and yards wero blocked with cars already loaded.

There was a considerable increase in amount of coal mined during 1917, as compared with 1916, but the con- sumption was greater. Shipments of anthracite coal in- crease 10,000,000 and of bitu- minous coal 31,000,000 tons during the year, But every available ton fs being consumed and the public ts erying for more The production of bituminous coal 4s now disastrously decreased.

Yesterday, in the same ield, 87 mines were without cars and shut down for the day. In tho Pittsburgh district, the mines are losing approximately 200,000 tons of output per week be- cause of transportation Itmitations. At many mines cars loaded with coal have not been pulled out of the i | no so pty cars could be sent in, and mines were idle. The Central Pennsylvania region, ing territories, including Eastern Pennsylvania and New England, are especially dependent, traffic condi- | tions have been and still are deplor- able. On many days, scores of mines have had no cars at all in which to load coal, and on other days only a fraction of the possible output could be moved, The enforced idleness has caused hundreds of men to leave the Central Pennsylvania district and the pro. |ductive capacity of the mines has |been definitely decreased. In Eastern Ohlo, supplying Youngs- | town and other Mahoning Valley stecl |producing centres, also Canton, Ak- ron, | dustrial sections, conditions duplicate those about Pittsburgh. | In Indiana and Illinois the ratiroads have been snow-bound for nearly a eck and coal production has fallen off seriously. COAL MUST BE HAULED AWAY AS MINED. The bituminous mines cannot oper- unless cars are placed at tho mines daily to haul away the coal as produced. “Most of the mines are lo cated in narrow gorges in hills and mountains where jt is physically im- |possible to build storage plants. | Moreover, the mines, and since the railroads cannot haul away such cars as arg loaded from day to day, storage bins nd plants would be of no advant whatever In ry [rate Se orodlicnan inereaied: 1k relieving the shortage of per cent. ‘Tho demand increased 25| Cl In the East fer cent, Anthracite shipments in| Th® cost of producing bituminous December last were 8,945 t Po | c0al hag nearly doubled tn the last Keep up. tho average of previous{¢ishteen months.

Labor leaders were besieged to-day | by thousands of men, women and girla,who had suddenly found them- elves jobless and wanted to know what, if anything, their unions could| do about it. Without exception the leaders re-| plied that the only thing to do was to act like good soldiers, accept the hardships as incidents of war and get along the best they could. The | unions promised to do all they could to alleviate acute distress, but tt was unanimously agreed that the order of the Fuel Administrator must obeyed. Perhaps the bitterest depression was that’ of the garment workers For months many of them have been idle, but they have been buoyed with hope because the “good season” w: ‘When they learned that |the “good season” was to start with a fivesday payless vacation and con- tinue with workless Mondays for ten weeks, many of them were in despair.

Abraham Baroff, Secretary of the International Ladies’ Garment Work- | ers’ Union, spent the day at the head- quarters, No. 31 Union Square, He said 7%,000 members, who had been suffering from slack trade conditions, were now destined to further suffering, “But there ts no doubt of our duty,” he said, “I am telling all callers that tho order must be obeyed.
