1914 Shows Decrease
In w. Va. Coal Mines

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The con.
ditions in the coal mining industry of
West Virginia during 1914, in the opin,
ion of E. W. Parker, of the United
States geological survey, may best
be expressed as mixed" The effect
of the business depression was Of
course seriously felt, but the produc.
ton for the year will not show any
material decrease from 1918. The re.
port Of the state department of mines
for the fiscal year ended June 30
showed an increase of nearly 4,50o,.
900 short tons over the preceding
year, but this included six months Of
good times in 1918 and three months
more in 1914. The business dons
after April 1, 1914, was in striking
contrast to that 'of the first three
months Of the year. Production in
some of the older districts, as the
Pocohontas, New River and Fairmont,
was materially reduced, but this was
partly made up by the output Of u
number of new mines opened along
Coal, Guyandotte and Big Sandy rt7.
ers, from which some coal was ship
ped west to make up the shortage
caused by the long strike in the east
ern districts Of Ohio. Labor troubles
were responsible for reduction of
output in the Kanawha district. The
production Of coke in West Virginia
in 1914 is estimated at not much
more than IS per cent of that of 1918.
but part Of the decrease in coke
production in the state is attributed
to the increased use Of by product
coke, none Of which is made at the
mines. The. ovens in other states,
however, are largely supplied by
West Virginia coal.
