1.se4,22O tons.
This illustrates the condition that
has been confronting the coal men
Of the Kanwha district, and in fact
the New River district also, for many
years. During the month of April
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
had an abundance of cars and extra
motive power. the demand for coal
Of course was strong, and while
there were between 8 900 and 5000
idle men the district mined and
shipped more coal than any month
in the history Of the mining indus
try. What would have been the
result had the men remained at
work is conjecture. Some coal men,
believe tie output in the Kanawha
district could have been do1bled it
all the mines had. been in operation
ana running at capacity.
In March, when the demand for
coal was as great, or even greater,
than In April, and with about sew
enty-tiye more mines in operation in
the Kanawha district alone, the out
put along the Chesapeake and Ohio
was S56i1SO tons less than in April
when ears and motive power were at
all times available to meet the de-
mands of the mines. The output
along the line OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio road for April was as follows:

The tonnage along the Chesapeake

tricts, is expected to be much greater
in May than 1t was In April fod the
reason that up to the present time
