The view is still held by officials here
that there must be some increase in pro-
duction in order TO prevent a serious
shortage this winter
The total production of hitumnous
coal for the week ended May II, as re-
ported by the United States Geological
Survey, was l1,s06,ooo net tons, an
average per day Of 1,96s,0Oo tons, com
pared with 1851, 900 tons for the week
ended May and a daily average for
that week Of l926.O00 tons. The gain
for the week of May II over the pre-
Ceding week was - per cent. The
production exceeded slightly that OF the
record week ended April 81.
The most severe losses on account of
car shortage are reported from the
Somerset County district of Pennsyl-
