PRODUCTION
OF COAL IN 1918

The production of coal in Iowa in
1913 vas 7,490,641 short tons, val
ued at $~13,431,061,% according to fig
ures compiled by E. w. Parker of thee
United States geological survey, in
cooperation with the Iowa geological
survey. This was an increase over
1912 of 2O1,112 tons in quantity,
and of $27S,973 in value. Except
those resulting from drought which
began in June and did not end until
September, conditions during the
yaer were normal. The slight in
crease in production over 1912 was
due to the disturbed labor situation
in Colorado. Operators complain of
the unsatisfactory character of the
mine labor in the state, not SO much
on account of inefficiency as of ex-
acting demands, which they claim
have increased the cost of mining
beyond the prices they have been
able to obtain for their product and
have discouraged the opening and de-
velopment of new properties. Iowa is
primarily an agricultural state, and
the markets for it's coal, outside of
that taken by The railroads, are chief
ly in rural communities and cities of
moderate size that are dependent on
agricultural trade. There are no ex-
tensive manufacturing interests re-
curing large supplies of fuel for
generation of power. Some coal is
shipped from Iowa to Nebraska,
Minnesota and other states, but an
equal amount comes into Iowa from
Illinois and eastern fields. The coal
beds of the state are not thick, the
thickest in the Des Moines district
averaging about 5 feet, and they are
somewhat irregular and taulted. The
coal is of noncoking bituminous
grade, somewhat high in sulphur,
but is a fair Steaming fuel.
The number of men employed in
the coal mines Of Iowa decreased
from 1870 in 1912 to 1853 in
1918; consequently there was an in
crease in the average yearly produc-
ton per man-from 445 tons to AIS
tons.
Iowa is no exception to the other
states of the interior province, where
shooting of coal from the solid is
practiced to a re~prehensible degree,
and the record in that respect for
1913 was worse than in 1912. The
quantity of coal shot off the solid
in 1913 was 5,4O5,142 short tons, or
~ per cent of the total.
There were 26 fatal accidents in
the Goa mines of Iowa in 1913, ac-
cOrding to reports of the United
States bureau of mines, an increase
of Z over 1912. All the fatalities o
Cured underground, and Is of they
were due to falls of roof.

INCREASES
ITS OUTPUT OF COAL

The production of coal in Arkan-
sas in 1913 was 2,234,107 short tons,
valued at s3,923,701 compared with
2,10O,S19 tons, valued at $3,5S2,7S9
in 1912, a gain of 133,2SS tons in
quantity and Of s340,912 in value.
The increased production in 1913 is
attributed by E. w. Parker of the
United States geological survey,
chiefly to a larger railroad consump-
ton caused partly by a decrease in
the supply of fuel oil and partly by
increased business. This was Offset
to some extent by decreased domes-
tic consumption, particularly in Tex
as, owing to an increased use of nat
ural gas in that state. The prolong-
ed drought in August and September
also had an adverse influence on coal
production, as it cut down the wheat
crop in Kansas and the cotton crop
in Oklahoma and Texas. Transpor-
tation facilities were improved W
those of previous years, and a reduc-
ton in freight rates, put into effect
in the latter part of the year, is ex-
pected to have a beneficial effect on
the industry by enabling larger guam
titles of coal to be shipped to the
northwest, where Arkansas semi
anthracite has established a market
and has already to some extent re-
placed West Virginia smokeless coal.
The conditions at the close of 1913
presented a more hopeful outlook
for the future than has existed in
Arkansas for several years.
The number of men on strike for
one cause or another in 1913 was
1 ,221, a little more than O%ne-fourth
of the total number employed, and
the average number of working days
lost by each man on strike was q.
The average quantity of coal pro-
duced by each man employed was
$50 tons during the year, against
463 tons in 1912. According to the
bureau of mines, there were IL fatal
accidents in 1918. just double the
number in 1912. The death rate per
1000 in 1913 was 2.58, and there
were 1S6,176 tons of coal mined for
each life lost. In 1912 the death
rate was 1.3, and the quantity of coal
mined for each life lost was 350,137
tons.

Dispatches coming out Of Germany
through Holland have given consid-
cradle publicity to am agitation in
army and other circles for the retire
nent of Herr Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg from the post Of imperial chan

allowed To take notice of this agita-
ton and in some cases to protest
mildly against II. n the chancellor

kaiser and the military party no crit
iclsm OF his statesmanship would be

OF all the diplomatic agents hitherto
employed in the countries with which

AS the German people begin to
realize the true nature of the strug-

are likely TO Judge more and more
harshly the diplomatic mismanage-
ment which has isolated Germany and
compelled her to face so formidable
a circle of enemies. Most Germans
insist that the war was forced on
them. But that does not blind them
