The fact that such tonnage has been taken
without materially affecting prices argues
we'll for the future of the year. Indeed,
every indication points to this as one of the
best years, for tonnage, which the industry
has had. What it will be as to prices cannot
be foretold, but with such an excellent pros
pect before them, there is good reason to be-
lieve that those who control the market will
endea 9or to avoid any course which will de-
stroy the opportunity May and June are
the critical months. If the market is held
in hand and the tonnage kept within the
consnmptive requirements, large and
profitable summer and fall trade will result.
The estimate of 5000, 900 tons each for these
months seems within the needs of the
market since a large part of it will move
west.
Much uneasiness is felt over a possible
scarcity of miners when the larger tonnage
Of the fall months is to be produced. Even
now many operating companies are finding it
difficult to secure enough skilled workers to
mine the relatively small tonnage of the
spring months. If this continues, and there
is reason for fearing that it will, the output
in fall may be insufficient for the demand.
This scarity of men is causing trouble in
each region alike, and may develop into a
difficult problem to be solved. The reason
for the miners leaving is, that they can get
only from $50 to 175 working days year in
the anthracite regions, whereas in the BIZ
luminous districts they can work from 25O
