usually near the agricultural reeions
the miners are cell and cheaply sup

the figures award bituminous coal the
palm not only for total production in
tons, but for value. 1t Is beyond the
scope of this article to inquire into the
cause OF the coal strikes or the relative
responsibility Of miners ana operators,
but it may be mentioned in passing that
the army of soft coal miners vastly ex-
ceeds that of the hard coalers. though
its members are spread out over a vast
er area. While the tonnage OF anthra-
cite now sent to market Is fully 50 per
cent greater than 1t was ten years ago.
the production of bituminous coal has
increased nearly fourfold, and its army
of miners has kept pace with its enor-
nous advance. Twenty years ago it
was estimated that the available tom
mage Of bituminous coal in Pennsylvania
exceeded 33.547 zoe, 900 tons, and last
year it produced in excess Of IS. 100000
