Adj. Gen. sanscs naca lcft this af-
terropn for Gallup to make n furtiicr
study OF tho situation.
The local coal situation Is not i'm
proving TO any marked extent. Al
though SOME Of tbs local dealers have
"a good supply ON hand OF certain
kinds Of coal this IL being drawn on
heavily owing to the colder weather.
and 20 far az can be learned there
have been but three cars OF coal re-
celvcd In Albuquerque since the rail-
road administrator commenced hold
ing up the production at the mines.
Two Of these cars were Released
through the priority distribution com
mittee OF The fuel administration
direct from Colorado, WIS received by
a local dealer WIN makes no attempt
TO explain how the car got here.
n was announced several days
that an coal billed direct to the local
dealers from the mines would no
longer be held up by the railroad adj
ministration. which caused the local
dealers TO expect the resumption OF
their shipments In q regular quantity.
This order may sim be IN effect, but
there are no results being derived
from Il since an coal produced l. be-
ing taken at the mines By the fuel
administration. and none OF II IL being
billed direct.
The mines in the different fields
which have beer working with re-
duccd forces are continuing TO do -
with but @ slight Increase In produc-
ton. Mines az Madrid and Cerrillos,
which were not affected by the strike
ate working fun capacity. Reports
this morning from the Gallup field
show some improvement. h produc-
ton Yesterday being about forty per-
cent % the normal. This work indi-
cafes an Increase OF about ten per cent
over last week, and that new addi-
tons have been made 30 the working
force. The total production i'm these
fields for the day were estimated at
about 1900 tons yesterday, every
pound OF which was taken by the rail-
road administrator.
The strike situation itself Is report
ed unchanged. No disturbances are
reported. AT n meeting OF the strtk-
ing miners held al Gallup on We'd
nesday evening Il was decided not to
! raturn TO work. regardless OF the call
ing on OF the strike order By the in
