RECORD COAL YEAR
Over Half Billion Tons of Soft Coal
 Turned Out at Mines.

Washington, Jan. "A new record for production of bituminous coal was established in 1918. Official figures of the geological survey, supplemented by an estimate by the National Coal association place the total produc- ton at S7,500,000 tons, an increase of 36,O00,000 tons or nearly per cent. over 1917 which also was record year.
 The nations wartime demand for coal, the heaviest in the country's history, has been met in full The mining of this banner tonnage during 1918 also virtually insures the country against a repetition of the shortage of coal last winter.
 The years record tonnage has been mined, under the spur of war time necessity, with fewer men, generally, in the coal mines of the country than during 1917. Reports from virtually every producing field indicate that no fewer than 100000 mine employees entered the military service during the year, approximately S0,000 through the operation of the draft law alone.
