CAR SHORTAGE
HOLDS Up COAL
Canvass Of Mines Shows Rath-
er Serious Outlook for
Next Winter Fuel
Problem.
LABOR rs ALSO SCARCE
Illinois Fields Working But Sixty
Percent Of Capacity and Will
Turn Out
LABOR rs ALSO SCARCE

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, May ia car short
age is today holding UP this nations
attempt to build a coal reserve
against another serious shortage
next winter This was shown in a
canvass of coal producing centers by
the United Press.
Although announcement has been
made by the railway administration
that American miners produced five
million more tons of coal during the
first four months of 1918. than in
1917, the consumption is far above
normal, due to war work While pro-
duction is about three per cent above
normal, it is not anywhere near ca
pacity. The nation still faces de-
ficit of between two and three mil
lion tons from last years reserve.
Coal authorities in Washington es-
innate that the output should in
crease in production.
Pottsville, Pa, was the only coal
center reporting the car shortage i'm
proved A twenty-five percent short
age of labor was reported there. All
mines there, however, are working,
holidays included. AS result that
section shows a twenty per cent in
crease in production over last year.
Ohio April reports estimated pro-
duction at only sixty-five per cent of
capacity Four-fifths of the lost pro-
duction was blamed on car shortage,
the balance on labor shortage. Des-
pite this, the April production was
ten per cent above that for April,
1917.
Indiana fields are operating at
about sixty per cent of normal. Min
ers are working only three days a
week The car service, which was
normal in March has slumped to six.
ty per cent of the demand.
Nearly all Illinois mines are work
ing but sixty per cent of capacity
Here again car shortage is blamed
for the low output. The states pro
duction is estimated at little less
than last winter.
Meanwhile twentythree per cent
of the miners in the southwest dis
trict of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Arkansas and Texas are laying off.
The output in this section is esti-
mated about normal.
