COAL MINES SUFFER
FROM CAR SHORTAGE
Producers Fear Distressing
Conditions Unless Railroads
Solve Problem.

With a great shortage OF railway car.
at the coal mines in southern Utah the
outlook Is that the mines will not be able
ior many months to catch up with their
orders. and the output of Utah coal
which this year should exceed all former
records. will be held down to even less
than last year

rather discouraglng because OF the car

Petit, with any kind OF business that

they nave no cars to use. The result

mines very noucea bly,. and possibly may
ahect the market in Salt Lake City by
causing either a shortage or a raise in
price.
Goal mines do not, as a rule, store
coal, II being their policy to mine IL as
ihey can load 1t onto the cars. They are,
however, doing considerable storing al
several OF the larger mines. AT the Nor
ian mines there are about 200 tons of the
coal being mined each day, while at Hta-
Watha the output ranges between 900 and
louo tons day. The smallest mines 10
tnese districts are about 200 tons behind
In their orders, because they cannot gel
the cars 10 haul the product away.
This year Utah has gained a great
deal In the matter OF coal production,
