for there is almost certain to be a

This is the warning issued by the
Anthracite Bureau Of Information with

and it is based on the shortage Of
labor in the mines. the decrease in
the percentage OF domestic size coal
produced compared with the total
output the almost total lack of
stocks in the large storage yards and
the decrease in production which is
frequently caused In winter by
weather conditions.

1T is true that as compared with

months of 1916 has shown an in
crease Of nearly 100000 tons. but

while they exceeded those of June
1915, by about 10000 tons, they were
approximately half million tons
short os the average monthly ship

"The anthracite mines are now
working to their utmost capacity a
very unusual condition at this time

OF the mines, however, has been very
