Development of Industry.

The development of the coal-mining
industry with reference to population
presents some interesting comparisons.
In 1850 the coal output was 7.01S,1S1
tons, or 03 ton for each of the 23,191.-
SIG inhabitants: in 1880 the popula-
ton had increased to about $4,000, 900
and the production of coal to about
71.00000C tons. an average of LAP tons
per capita. At the close of the nine
teenth century the population was
76.303.3S7, an increase of a little over
SO per cent. as compared with 1850,
while the production of coal had in
creased nearly 400 per cent in the
same period and averaged 3.53 tons for
each person. In 1913 the per capita
production was figured at 5.S5 tons.
In addition to this increase in the con-
sumption of coal. the use in recent
years of petroleum and natural gas
should also be considered.
The coal mines of the country gave
employment in 1913 to an army of
nearly three-quarters of million
men-747.644. The average number of
days worked by the bituminous miners
in 1913 was 232, against 223 in 1912.
while the average time made in the
anthracite mines in 1913 was the best
on record-257 days for each man.
The average production per miner in
the bituminouS miner increased from
$40 tons in 1912 to s3S tons in 1913,
both being record breaking averages,
while anthracite miners increased their
average from 4S5 tons in 1912 to 532
tons in 1913.

COAL PRODUCTION 1918
MAKES ANOTHER RECORD
Amount Mined Is Double That of
1900 and Eight Times
That of 1880.

The production of coal in the United
states has again broken previous rec
ords. the output for 1913 being 51O,oiS,-
10 short tons. which is considerably
more than double the production of 1860
and more than eight times the produc-
ton of 1850, according to a statement
just issued by the United States geolog-
ical surrey. The value Of the coal mined
in 1913 is given as $76O, 4SS.7SJ.
Compared with tine previous year the
output for 1919 shows an increase of
5.5s1 81, tons, or nearly per cent. The
increased activity indica ted by these fig
ures was well distributed throughout the
twenty-nine coal-producing states. twen-
ty-three of which showed increases ard
only six decreased production. the de-
crease in one of these-Colc-aGo-bein
due solely to labor trouble. OF those
showing increase. twelve made record
yields. and Pennsylvania, the leading
coal state. broke records in both btu
minous and anthracite production.
Former Records Broken.
The states which broke ali former rec
Illinois. Kentucky. Montana. New Mex
Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Viz
ginia. The largest increase in the pro-
dction of bituminous coal was in Penn
sylvania. where II ,915129 tons was added
to the output of 1912. West Virginia
showed the second largest gain. 4.322 20
tons. and Kentucky the third largest
gain. ::.1.ss.O73 tons, which was also the
largest percentage of increase. amount
ing to - per cent. Of all the important
coal-producinug states. Indiana was
fourth, Illinois fifth. onio sixth and Ala
bama seventh. While the total increase
was very large as figured i'll tons, the
percentage is what may be considered
normal and indicative of healthy indus
trial activity throughout the country.
Coal mining. like all other Industries
iii the Ohio valley states. was seri-
ously interefered with by the great
foods during the spring OF 1919. With
no violent fluctuations in the demand
by the blast furnaces. steel works and
other manufacturing industries, the de-
Dand for coal for those purposes shows
only n normal increase. The continued
decrease in the use of fuel oil in the
mid continental oil field and the strike
in the Colorado, coal mines resulted in
an increased output of coal in the CEN
tral and southwestern states. With q
few exceptions. notably in Illinois, In
diana and Oklahoma, values ranged
higher than in former normal years, so
that from the producers standpoint
the conditions in 1913 were fairly sat

mission as evidence in any suit brought
in the future under the Sherman anti

Senator Sutherland of Utah. repub-
ican. took serious exception to this
amendment.
Filibuster Indicated.
That some of the republicans intend
to filibuster and 10 do all in their power
to harass the democrats in their ef-
forts to put through the trust bills
was again indicated today when Sem
ator Brandegee of Connecticut took the
floor and insisted upon reading the

was laid out the signal to let the water
come was given and my three horses
were turned over to the engine driver.
I turned to duty with the hose line and
for day and a half thereafter along
side of my fellow firemen, fought that
fire. During the Gait fire I was on the
surrounding roofs much of the time.
When the pipe line with which / was
working was taken away and placed on
the water tower. l continued to aid In
