Of the mining industry is the scarcity Of labor especially
Of skilled labor and Of men capable Of assuming respon

is talking about when he says that little be expected
from the hard coal producers in the way OF increasing their
tonnage over last year, so the bumnous producers must
either turn out 646 100000 tons or there will be coal
scarcity no matter how efficient the railroads are getting
the coal to the points Of consumption.
This is about one hundred million tons more than most
