days supply in the New England re-
gion to 6 days supply In the Pocahon-
tas region.
'Thruout the strike there was prac-
tiealiy no production in the large pro-
dicing field known as the central COM
petitlve district, including western
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and nil
nois. Consumers in that part OF the
country having relied on their proxi-
nifty to the mines insuring their
regular supply, and generally very
small reserve stocks, which In many
instances were soon exhausted. A
similar situation existed in the middle
west, particularly In Iowa, Nebraska,
Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma"
The report described the movement
of large quantities Of coal from the
Pocahontas and Allegheny region to
Memphis, st. Louis, Chicago and
points farther west, which developed,
until by the termination Of the strike,
approximately 1000 cars of coal per
day, about 40 per cent Of the total out
put Of the Pocahontas and Allegheny
regions, were being moved in this way
from extreme east to extreme west.
Ohio and Indiana we're also supplied
from the Allegheny and Pocahontas
regions by rail-, the movements reach7
ing a total Of 1870 cars per day. The
large stocks on hand In New England
permitted the limitation of shipments
to New England to the movement
thru Pocahontas and Allegheny dis
triot tidewater ports.
The southwestern region was sup
piled with 15,097 cars from the Poca-
hontas region by way. of Memphis and
st. Louis during the strike period. A
shortage of bunker coal at Gulf ports
and the need for railroad fuel there
led the shipment Of Pocahontas coal
by tidewater from Hampton Roads to
Galveston. for which movement the
United States Shipping Board furnish
ed tonnage.
The central western region requisi-
toned 21,o76 cars Of eastern coal dur
ing the strike period, and the north
western region received during the
emergency 22.41S cars Of eastern coal.
Coal stocks in the upper lake docks
the report said. were confined practi-
cally to the normal lake dock consum-
ers. Canada, according to the report,
was supplied with $50 cars of eastern
coal a day, which was distributed by
tho Canadian fuel administrator.
