COLORADO COAL OUTPUT LESS.
Decrease of 1.75o,ooo Tons In 1918 on
Account Of Strike.

Account Of Strike.
Denver.-The production Of coal in
Colorado in 1919 was 9,232,510 short
tons, valued at $14,O35 ,090. Compared
with 1912, the returns for 1913 show
a decrease of 1,745.S14 tons, or 1873
per cent, in quantity and of $2,S10.246,
or l4.l3 per cent in value. The
smaller production in 1913, according
to +. w. Parker OF the United States
Geological Survey at Washington, was
Que entirely to strike, called on Sep
tember 16 and put into effect a week
later, which reduced the output in the
southern part of the state for the rest
OF the year to about 40 per cent of the
normal. The production in 1913 was
the smallest since 1905. AS in numer.
Gus other instances of labor disaffec-
tion, the trouble in Colorado arose
from a demand for the recognition Of
the union and led to a contest which
for bitterness, violence, and bloodshed

recent history, necessitating first the
state militia and finally the presence

ben resumed with nearly a full COM
plement of men under the protection
of the federal authorities. Few of the
mines were entirely idle at any time
during the strike, and although 1924
men tmore than co per cent of the av-
erage number employed during the
year, We're idle for an average of IS
Gays each, the average number OF
days tie mines worked was 229. or
two days more than in 1912, when a
production of practically 100000
tons was mined without a single in
stance of strike or suspension being
reported. The total time lost was
equal to 90 per cent of the time made,
from which it appears that except for
the strike the production for the year
would have amounted to about II 1,500,-
900 tons, OF within half million tons
of the maximum record of 1910. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether, even if
there had been no interruption by
strikes, the output would have reached
that tonnage or even the record Of
1912. for owing to crop shortage In
adjoining states, there was a reduced
demand for both railroad and COM
mercial coal.
The miners of Colorado have a good
record for efficiency. In 1912 the
average production by each man en-
ployed was S44 tons, and in 1913 it
was S53 tons.
Reports to the Bureau Of Mines
show that there were los fatal acct
dents in tie coal mines of Colorado in
1S1G, an increase of 10 over 1912.
