WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-Mild weather
with a gradual slackeninE OF the pro-
duction OF munitions and military sup.
plies Is resulting In a heavy decrease In
the output OF the coal mines. Reports
made 10 the Geological Survey from the
mines in different sections OF the country
show that the output OF the anthracite
and bituminous mines combined Is
slightly In excess OF 1900, 900 tons a
week. During the last weeks OF the
summer the production was more than
Is. 900. 900 tons a week.
Between 100000 and 5000. 900 tons
have been saved this fall because OF the
mild weather. In only comparatively
few insta noes has II been necessary to
light fires in basement furnaces or
CRATES. Increased features OF economy
In the use OF coal In factories and indus
tries have assisted In reducing the actual
need OF coal for the winter months
The output of the mines since April
1, II IL said. Is l3 per cent ahead of that
OF last year. The production during the
period In the bituminous fields has been
ss,s5S, 900 tons. compared with S26.-
AL, 900 tons during the same time last
