COAL OUTPUT GREATEST
IN HISTORY OF THE L. $

Washington. July S.-The output
of bituminous coal in the United
States during the first six months o!
1916 was the greatest ever recorded
in any half-year period. Estimates
made by c. Z. Lesher. of the Geo.
logical Survey, based on returns
from over 100 railroads originating
coal and coke shipments. indicate
that the production during this Pc
riod was 26l,0OO,00O tons, an in
crease of 35 per cent. over the first
six months of 1915, and of per
cent. over the last six months of the
same year. and greater by several
million tons than the record estab-
lished In the last half of 1918. Com
pared with the first half of 1915 the
exports from the Atlantic seaboard
during the last six months have in
creased about 10 per cent. and the
coal used in coking has increased
nearly one-half. Increased consump-
tion by railroads and by the iron
and steel and nearly all other indus
tries has been large factor in es-
tablishing this record.
