COAL OUTPUT KEEPS
UP TO HIGH STANDARD
Bituminous Production for Last
Week Sets New Record.

Coal production Is keeping the
high pace set in recent weeks. For
the week ending July IS. the btu
minous production set another new
record. being in excess of 100000
tons, and more than 100000 tons
above the previous high mark.
For six weeks past. excepting the
Fourth of July week, when there
were but five working days, the BIZ
luminous production has exceeded
12,000.000 tons, which previous to
that had been regarded as impos-
sible. This output has been reached
despite reduced labor forces due to
the withdrawal of many thousand
men in the draft. The Fourth of
July week showed an excess over
100000 tons. Previously 5000, 700
had been a liberal allowance for
that week.
Conditions in New England are
steadily improving. Approximately
3,250,000 gross tons of anthracite
passed through the gateway during
April. May and June. The total al
lotment for the year there amounts
to 10.331.000 gross tons. II the pres
