COAL OUTPUT FELL
SLIGHTLY IN 1915

Anthracite coal production In the Uni
ted States was 100000 short tons less
in 1915 than IL was in 1914, according
TO a review OF the coal mining industry
of the United States by the Geological
Survey.
Though the coal industry generally be-
gan the year 1915 under adverse condi-
lions. 1t improved steadily during the
summer and fall in sympathy with the
general betterment Of business, and in
November and December was in better
position as regards markets. and prices
than at any time since 1918. according
to the survey report, Bituminous pro-
duction increased greatly in the East,
more than offsetting lack of gain I'm
the anthracite fields and the Western
bituminous fields. Total production for
the year was 5ls.0OO.0OO short tons. an
Increase over 1914 of less than per
cent.
Eastern production of bituminous was
stimulated by the steady demand for
export coal and for coke for steel max
ing. and the general improvement In
business The Eastern increase would
have been greater, in the opinion of the
survey. If there had not been a short
age Of transportation facilities.
