The general fuel situation and re-
strictions are under review by the
Central Coal Committee to deter
mine whether more drastic measures
to conserve coal were necessary. Lo-
cal consumption has been so much
greater than production that officials
are alarmed at the rapid depletion of
the reserve stocks. No substantial
increase in the amount of coal mined
is expected before Monday. Officials
said return to maximum produc-
ton was imperative if disaster was
not to result. The resignation of

SOFT COAL IN 1919

That the absence of any such dis
tressing shortage of bituminous coal
as was experienced last winter is as
sured for 1919, is indicated in figures
announced today by the National Coal
Association.
An increase of from 551 100000
tons in 1917 to 5S7 100000 tons mined
in 1918, or nearly per cent, is shown
in this report, which states that the
nations wal time demand for coa'
has been met in full.
Credit for this increased produc-
ton with 100000 employees in the
military and naval service, is given
to increased efficiency in manage
ment, the patriotic desire of operators
and employees to prosecute the war tc
the limit Of their ability, and better
car supply and movement under the
Railroad Administration.
The mining of this banner tonnage
during 1918 virtually assures th'
country against any noticeable short
age of coa,. The report states. Witt
fair operating conditions and intelli
gent distribution of the product, an'
with many miners returning from
military service, there is every pros
pect of plentiful supply Of coal TO
some time to come.
