SPEEDING UP COAL PRODUCTION
Union Leaders Exerting Every Effort,
But Believe Car Shortage an
Important Item

ers' Union are conducting question:
naires to find out just why miners are
idle. They express the view that
where any men are not at work 1t is
through causes they can not control,
and they predict that the question
naires will verify their belief. The
Department of Labor considers the
coal problem one of the most impor-
tant that America must solve.
Frank j. Hayes, international pres
ident of the union, has made a tour
in Pennsylvania, speaking to the min
ers to urge upon them the necessity
for maximum production during the
war. How we'll the men are respond
ing is shown by the fact that 1924
600 tons Of bituminous coal were
mined in one week in July-almost
half the amount of bituminous coal
required for the New England States
and by the mining Of more than
100000 tons in one day on several
occasions this season. Production
thus far is breaking all records.
"The miners can flood the country
with coal, IL they are given proper
facilities and encouragement" said
Mr.. Hayes in an address at Mahanoy,
"and there is no necessity for work,
ing more than eight hours"
Not only is Mr.. Hayes urging the
men to put forth every effort posi-
BILE to increase production, but the
United Mine Workers Journal. or
gan of the union, exhorts them thus:
dig! Miners, dig! Dig coal; dig
more coal; dig still more coal; the
success of the war depends on the
coal you dig"
In view of these efforts and Of the
great production at the bituminous
mines, the union officials feel that
wherever men are idle it is not their
own fault.
Therefore the union officials of dis
trict 2, Pennsylvania-John Brophy,
president; James Mark, vice presi-
dent; and Richard Gilbert, secretary
treasurer-have prepared statement
in which they call the attention of
all local unions to the necessity at
this time for universal productive
effort, and request prompt response to
the missionaries they are sending
out.
These missionaries ask the names
of the mines, railroads serving them,
companies operating them, and union
organizations connected with them.
The cause of idleness and number of
men idle are then queried. Among
causes of idleness listed are failure Of
railroads to supply cars, lack of tim
Der, bad ventilation, water In the
mine, roof falls, breakdowns Of ma
chinery or equipment, and differences
with the foremen or other reasons,
including sicknss, which resulted in
the workmen being sent home. West
Virginia miners charge that the COM
panies' methods of reporting on idle
ness are unfair to the workers.

tenance Is to Blame.

The following is taken from a paper
by B. HI. Piepmeier, maintenance en-
gineer, highway department, state Of
Illinois. 1t touches a subject upon
which every layman who uses the pub
lie roads should inform himself:
MANY different types Of roads
nave been condemned by the public
chiefly on account of the lack of prop
err maintenance. The proper type of
road may be selected by the engineer,
but If he has no means of controlling
maintenance his choice may be con-
demned by the average layman.
Public sentiment is nodded largely
by the results that are evident to the
eye, regardless of the money actually
expended. 1t is not uncommon to

ROADS
WAR ROAD BUILDING POLICY
In Communication to Highway Off
Gals, Secretary Houston Out
lines Government Plan.

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment Of agriculture In 2 communica-
ton to the american Association of
State Highway Officials has set forth
squarely the policy which he thinks
should be followed in highway con-
struction during the war. Secretary
Houston says:
$50 far as it is practicable to do so,
this department will urge the mainten-
ance of the highways already con-
structed; the construction and com
pletion of those highways which are
vitality important because of their bear
ing upon the war situation or for the
movement of commodities the post
ponement of all highway construction
relatively less essential or not based
upon important military or economic
needs. The department is preparing
to suggest to the state highway depart
ments the preparation of schedule
of work for the federal aid projects for
1918 in line with this policy"
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by
the Office of public roads of the de-
partment of agriculture schedule forms
on which the states are requested to
set forth their proposed federal aid
work for the 1918 working season.
These schedules call for description
of each road, the character, quantity
and rail haul Of the materials to be
used, the probable cost, the amount Of
federal funds desired, the specific pur-
pose of the Improvement, its bearing
upon the war situation, and what eff
feet a delay of the work until 1919 or
later would have. With the informal
ton thus assembled and classified, an
efficient road construction program is
assured. While it is impossible to make
any definite statement regarding the
transportation of road materials, the
expectations are that the transporta-
ton situation will be improved and
that the shipment of such materials for
essential projects can be made.
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of some $300,0OO000, and
there is scarcely section of the coun-
try that is not seriously affected by
marked disturbance in road work.
