tons. and by Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
+.3l7.0S tons-a total of S3529.O9 tons.
i,3Si.91 tons more than for the same week
last year. For the year TO June 3. inclu-
sive, 1,7sS.77S tons have been shipped. an

During the week Il 300 10 tons of coal
and 3.34I.19 tons OF coke were shipped from
the Elk Garden and Upper Potomac region
of West Virginia. The total output OF the

T.727.1l tons of coal and a decrease CT
1,22l.13 tons of coke as compared with the
record for the same period in 1898.
The demand for soft coal continues good.
Tie sidings of the various railroads were
full of laden cars. but the business spurt
is causing the rapid consumption of the
coal. The demand for an increase of 10
per cent in the Georges Creek-Cumberlan
region comes largely from certain of the
professional agitatOrs in the region. The
companies have given them little heed.
and the chances are that the question will
die down. as the men are all busy and ap-
parently contented. As an operator stated
they realized how much easier it is with
our improved appliances. and with less
danger to life, to make i5 cents in the
Maryland region than 1t is to make 55
cents in some other regions. The West
Virginia miners also are paying but little
attention to the organizer and the
chances for strike are very slim. The
demand for vessels is steady.
