COAL CARS HAULED ON
STEAM HEATED TRACKS
Conditions at Collieries Indicate
Acute Suffering if Railroad situa-
ton Does Not Improve.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
POTTSNILLE, Pa. January 25.-With
the daily output of fuel through the
anthracite belt barely exceeding the
tonnage moved to the markets, reserve
supplies are being reduced. according
to mining officials, and it is feared that
suffering for coal will be acute If the
railroads face further traffic conSes-
tion.
|also, it was announced today, by the
continued water famine, cold weather
and the scarcity Of empty coal cars
Maple Hill, st. Nicholas and ELAN
gowan colleries Of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company have
been idle several days, and a number
of breakers near Mahanoy City have
suspended operations.
Reports which have been received in
Pottsville indicate that the colleries in
the Shamokin district of the PennSyl-
vania railroad are badly in need of
empty cars. Twelve hundred coal cars,
it is estimated. have been sent out by
the Reading in the last torty-eiSht
hours.
AT practically every coliiery in the
mining districts now coal cars are haul
ed on steam heated tracks. This is dS-
signed to prevent the car wheels from
ton in the wheel boxes from freezing.
During December, 1917, anthracite to
the amount of o,69S.945 tons was ship
ped to market. This total represents
|l16,19S more than the amount sent in
December. 1916.
