lack of cars in which to convey fuel
disturbed labor conditions or inability
on the part of mine operators TO mine
the fuel, according TO the statement
of Chief Mine Inspector a. q. Lucas
OF the state Labor Department. who
| returned yesterday from Il lengthy trip
through the Virginia coal fields.
Great shipments of coal to the sea-
port towns of Virginia are being made
daily, the inspector said, and mines that
nave not been in operation since carly
in the year are opening up now and
producing to the limit of their capac-
ity. Most of the coal shipped to the
seaboard is taken aboard freighters
bound for Eastern ports.
Last year lo.396,625 tons of coal
were mined in Virginia. according to
Gently. Mr.. Lucas said tina, he did not
expect the Virginia mines 20 produce
this much coal this year because OF
of lack of order by the mine operators
and practically no market being open

also blamed for a considerable loss of
time.

exists. Mr.. Lucas asserts. there is no
surplus.
II believe the mining industry is in
as good shape today as it has been
for the last five years" the inspector
said "Sincc the close of the war the
operators have been able to obtain all
necessary machinery and other neces-
sites TO the operation of their mines.
