u. S. Coal Output
Shows Slight Cain
Over 1919 Tonnage
Despite Low Record Reached
for Last Week in July,
Geological Survey Sees
Improvement in Situation

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a bright
picture Of the national coal situation
is painted by the geological survey in
figures made public to-day, covering
coal production and transportation for
the week Of July 81.
Despite D. decrease In production Of
1,523,O00 tons, as compared with the
previous week, due to the strikes Of
mine laborers in Illinois and Indiana,
the end Of July found bituminous pro-
duction since the beginning of the year
to have reached 302, ,727 900 tons, an
increase of 44,500,000 tons over the
Anthracite production also compares
favorably with 1919, having reached
5O,575, 900 tons on July 81, as compared
with 47,3O7OO0 tons at the end of July
of 1919.
The Illinois and Indiana strikes
caused production of bituminous dur
ing the week of July 81 to 60 to the
low weekly level of the year, but the
SURVEYS report declares "that since
then there has been steady improve
ment"
Reports to the survey as to car sup
ply indicated at the end of July mo
widespread improvement" a change
for the better being noted. in some
districts, while the losses in produc-
ton due to insufficient transportation
grew more acute in others.
Tidewater shipments during the
week of July 81 established what the
survey believes to be a new record
for coal handled over tidewater piers
in a single week. The total tidewater
dumpings amounted to ,461 cars, an
increase of 1,771 cars over the previ-
Gus week. A total of 104 1926 cars for
July was divided among the various
ports as follows:
New York, 34,913; Philadelphia, 49,
42O; Baltimore, 14,109; Hampton
Roads, 40,791, and Charleston, S. c.,
1883.
The first week of shipment of coal
under the order granting priority to
the Northwest, however, was not up to
the expectations Of the railroads, the
increase over the previous week
amounting to only 112,712 tons. Ship
ments to Lake Erie ports for the
Northwest since the first of the year
amounted on July 81 to 6,814,000 tons,
which is five and third million tons
behind 1918 and six and a third million
tons less than 1919.
Rail movements Of coal to New Eng
land, one of the territories in which
there exists a shortage, were heavy,
amounting to 6,36S cars through the
five Hudson River gatewavs. With one
exception this was the heaviest rail
movement to New England of record.
Shipments through Hampton Roads to
New England decreased during the
week of July 81, which was before the
New England priority order became

Garment Makers Optimistic

Business men throughout the United
states and Canada who are members
Of the International Association of
Garment Manufacturers are optimistic
concerning the business outlook despite
the falling off in the number of orders
placed by jobbers and retailers during
the last few weeks. Most Of the manu-
facturers, according to survey com
piled by A. F. Allison, secretary of the
association, from replies to ques-
tionnaire sent to the membership in
seventeen states and Canada, place de-
pendence in future buying by the pub
lie on optimistic crop reports. Low
stocks in the hands of jobbers and re-
tailers also influence the manufactur-
ers in the belief that trading will be
resumed shortly.

ly, and few manufacturers are seeking
business on this basis. Little change
in conditions has been noted during
the last week. Car shortage is growing
worse, particularly in the Douglas fir
section, with mill stocks piling up and
manufacturers curtailing further pro-
duction. Southern hardwoods show
frank reductions in price, and efforts
are being made to sell new supplies to
the furniture. automobile and other
woodworking factories. Buying con-
tinues cautious. and while an increase
in demand is looked for it is expected
that it will be too slow to prevent fur
ther lowering of prices.

Studying u. S. LAUNDERING

American numbering methods are be-
ing studied, with view to adapting
them to the exploitation of the forests
of india, shortly to be undertaken by
the British government. Charles Gil
bert Rogers, director Of forests, of
India, with seventeen engineers, all vet
Grams of the World War, are at present
in the United States at work in logging
camps in the Appalachian Mountains.
They will gradually work toward the
Northwest and then down the Pacific
Coast, and will complete their studies
in the Southern pine territory in Feb
ruarX of next year. Practically the
only milling of lumber in India is done
in the Province Of Burma, where 30,-
100000 acres of teak timber are still
uncut. Other sections of the country
produce hardwoods, and in the higher
attitudes coniferous woods.

Fall Shoe Buying Slow

The booking Of fall business in
shoes Is proceeding extremely slowly.
New York retailers are said to be
more dilatory in the placing Of orders
for new stock than are the retailers Of
other sections of the country.
A few of the New England factories
are running on close to full hours and
most Of the Rochester concerns re-
port that they are turning out full
production. Resumption in Brooklyn,
where most of the women's novelty
and highly styled shoes are produced,
is much slower. Not moro than three
of the twenty-five leading Brooklyn
factories, it is said, have received
orders sufficient to enable them to re-
sumo on large scale, and at the best
mono Of these has orders for more
than a three months production.

THE WEST AND SOUTH

Once upon time, so goes the story, two typ-
cal COW punchers conceived the idea of visit
ing New York City and, dare devil as it may
have seemed, yet they actually did so, and
while they were objects of wholesale curiosity
to the New Workers, nevertheless the New
Workers were no less objects Of curiosity
to them, but the straw that broke the camel's
back so far as the cow punchers were con-
cerned, was when they ran across two dudes,
such as roamed at large in New York some
thirty-fve or more years ago. The cow
punchers suspiciously eyed the dudes, yea,
with intense interest," when one of the punch
ers turned to the other, while his hand uncon-
sciously dropped to his back aft pocket, only
to find it empty, and exclaimed: Bill, what
strange things we see when we haven't our
guns" While reading the Business Chron-
icle Of this city one day this week I ran
across a communication which made me
feel very much like that cow puncher in New
York City at the sight of two dudes, and be-
low the letter is reproduced:
The Hope of Civilization
j. S. Moose manager Morrilton Cotton Oil
Co., Morrilton, Arkansas 1T takes con-
siderable noise on the Pacific Coast to be
audible on this side of the Continental Divide.
We have been hearing just enough to know
that there is conflict there between the lov-
ers Of God and Home and Native Land on the
hand, and those sane and insane anar-
chists who acknowledge no Creator, who have
no hope of Home, and who respect no Govern
ment on the other What little we have
heard from the Far West does not tell us
whether you are wise or foolish, but what
we hear certainly indicates that you are on
the side Of decency and right and that you
are backing your convictions with energy
and courageous Americanism. Keep up the
good work The hope Of Civilization depends
on finding enough men with spinal columns
like yours.
Think about the operator of cotton oil
company in Arkansas felicitating with men
operating big industrial concerns in the
Northwest and you have fair example Of
Lucifer in the bottomless pits of hell pro-
testing against the angels rebelling. Doubt
less, not man in that cotton oil concern
gets half decent wages and as all Of them en-
ployed there are colored men, they are forced
to work ten hours per day and yet not get
half pay, and if they protest or organize for
mutual protection they are declared to be
plotting Negro uprising for the purpose of
massacreing the whites, whom they outnum-
ber in that state, and forthwith the white
men from near and from far, armed as if
for war, close in upon the unsuspecting
Negroes and shoot them down like wild beasts
of the forest Of course, such brutality is
looked upon in Arkansas as courageous
Americanism,' but in Gods country it is
looked upon as the acts Of barbarians, who
work upon the theory that might makes
right. The black men, women and children
murdered by those Arkansas rough necks
(white) had no desire to be other than one
