Summing up the condition OF the

Coai mined by nonunion miners and
coal produced by miners whose con-
tracts are in force and where the
men win not walk out win be suff-
cient to take care of all current do
needs" Lane said.
Lane estimated that on a yearly
basis coal produced by miners who
will stay at work will amount to 1o0,-
100000 tons for railroads. 10000. 900
tons for domestic use and 25,000, 90
for public utilities.

"The big problem" Lane said. "is
to take care of the industries. Much
coal is in storage. but we do not
know it's exact location and cannot
tell how soon or how extensively in
dustries would suffer"
There are 10000 union and oo,ooo
nonunion miners, Lane estimated. and
said there was a possibility the strike
might spread to nonunion men.
Surplus coal will be distributed
among the Inhabitants in order of

When the strike order was origi-
nally issued it was said that the roads
had only a ten-day supply, but this
