COAL PRODUCTION 0N THE INCREASE Miners and Operators to Elect Members on PrOduc- ti0n Committee

Coal production in the Birmingham dis trict took another upward soar last week and came within s427 tons of eaualing the high record made in the week ending July 27. The outout for the week ended August "A was 430,311 tons, an increase Of 18S7e over the preceding week.
 Reports made to District Representa- tive E. A. Holmes, of the fuel adminis- tration, indicate that the production thls week will be about the same as last week. Weekly averages since April 1, as com piled by Mir. Holmes, show steady in- crease, which, if maintained until the end of the year, will bring the district production for the year well above the 1912 output. which exceeded 20,00O, coo tons.
 The following are the weekly averages
 since April 1: In April, 35S, 4o9 tons; in
 May, 37l 26S tons; in June, tl,2l4 tonsi
 in July, 406, ,233 tons; in August, up to the 24th 42l, ,631 tons.
 Judge H. c. Selheimer, production man ager for this district, states that the miners are working more hours per week just now than for several months past, and that with adequate car facilities the production would soon reach the max 1 mum figures.
 ! Car shortages were reported at few 1 of the mines during the present week 1 but it is not believed that they are se' rious enough to affect the output to an, appreciable extent.
 | By the end of the present week, Judge ! Selbeimer stated yesterday, the workers at all of the mines in the district vii l have elected their members of the pro duction committees and the operators
 will probably select theirs next week. :. 1 The members of these committees VII | receive commissions from the govern
 ment, together with badges which vii show that they are not neglecting thei I duties as miners.

 MT Duncan said that he had replied in every instance that wherever the machine was used for anything other than business it would be violation of the fuel regulations but as no posi- tive order had been made. no punish- ment could follow failure to observe it. However if the people do not Noiun : tariiy abide by the rule the fuel ad ministration will issue an order forbid ding the use of pleasure cars on sun days, and then those who violate II will be liable to severe punishment.
 Mr. Duncan said that the people had willingly and promptly compiled with practically all rules and regulations made by the fuel administration in the mast and he believed that they would as willingly and as promptly comply with this request.
