BLAME SHORTAGE
INCOAL ONLACK Of
TRANSPORTATION

Coal shortage in the United States
is entirely a matter OF transportation,
both railroad and local delivery. &C,
cording to a statement made public
today by the District Defense Council.
Here are the facts in the coal stu
alton as set out by the Council:
''The United States produced in 1917
something like 6T5,000. 900 tons of
coal. This is a 10 per cent gain over
1916. and 2J per cent gain over 1915.
There is always plenty OF coal
400 times as much OF II under these
United States right now as We and
our ancestors have dug out in the
last 100 years.
And there are coal mines enough
1000 mines and 700. 900 miners Even
in the Unprecedented year of 1916,
the productive capacity OF the mines
was 100 million tons above the ac-
tual production. In 1915, a good year.
the 5000 soft coal mines OF tho coun.
try worked only 203 full days instead
OF 200, and produced two-thirds as
much coal as they might have pro-
duced
THE difficulty is to get the coal to
the right place. The solution OF this
difficulty is1what the consumer is
principally paying for when he buys
his winter coal. Half OF his coal bill
goes for railroad transportation and
for hauling through city streets"
