RATHER GLOOMY VIEW OF
COAL INNING CONDITIONS
Leading Trade journal Has Grave Fears
OF Greater Shortage Than
Yet Heard of.


Yet Heard of.
The Black Diamond. the coal trades
leading exponent in this country. In It's
last issue takes a rather gloomy view
CT the situation. II says:
This week brought alarming reports
from all ovor the country OF a growing
shortage Of labor at the mines.
There has been talk for months Of
dangerous conditions in the labor stu
alton. but these warnings were mostly
disreEarded because II was said that
those who remained at the mines could
not work full time because OF the short
age of cars. Therefore. until cars re-
manned unloaded. no one paid much
ing the statements OF it exaggerated.
This week. however. In parts of West
Virginia and through the East, empty
cars have remained unloaded, and on
mine sIdinEs. because the miners were
not there to get out tho coal.
From all parts OF the country tho
prediction Is now made that IL losses
of miners through the draft continue
this condition in West virginia will
be duplicated In a great many parts Of
the country. In a great many mining
districts the miners have become dis
couraGed because Of the shortage of
cars and have gone into other lines OF
Industry or are working in the mines
only part time and on their farms part
of the time. In some mining districts,
as in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and
the South, the miners are refusing TO
work more than certain number of

Gays week and this Is further slow
ins down the production Of coal. Be-
cause Of tho shortage Of labor on ono
hand and the inefiiciency of 1t on the
other. the operators have begun to
despair Of getting out enough coal to
meet tho nations needs.
Inc engine supply on tho railroads
~ also proving hopelessly Inadequate
An indication Of this Is that for the
last month or more the supply of cars
has huctuated at the mines. One week
tho supply would be fairly good while
the railroads were moving empties in
the direction OF the mines: The next
week the car supply would be short
when the railroads were moving the
loads away from the mines. This points
to continuation OF the old shortage of
engines"

from the very large section of the
bright belt which makes Danvilie it's
market center, vary somewhat as to
the prospects so far for = big crop.
However. in the main these reports In
dictate that the bright tobacco crop Of
1918 Favorable seasons permitting)
VIII be larger than that of 1877. The
stocks in the hands OF the dealers.
brokers and manufacturers are smaller
than ever known at this time of tho
year Tho farmers know this, and re-
memberinS the marvelously high
prices Of last season, they look for
ward to still greater profits from tho
weed OF this years growth. and they
are stretching every nerve to increase
their product The shortage of labor
in some sections will not admit OF hope
OF much increase. but In spite of this.
there are very few farmers who have
not prepared land and set out plants
with the view OF being able to market
more Of the weed next fall and winter
than for the last season, and this In
the face of the fact that the farmers
or this section are universally trying
to make larger food crops also. After
all. the labor supply and tho seasons
will determine how much larger mi,
years tobacco crops will be than last
years.
