were exported, including shipments

Railroad.
.The cause Of the coal difficulty IN

Is not big exports. insufficient pro
duc:ion Q! coal Is the real difficulty.
The United States Geological Survey
! reports show that we are producing
only a little over 100000 tons Of
coal per week. At the present time
we ought to be producing around H.;
,, 100000 tons per week. Thus we need
from 100000 to 100000 tons Of
additional production per month. Ex.
ports have not averaged a quarter OF
this deficit.
"The only reason that more coal Is
not produced Is the fact that the OPP
orator do not have the railroad cars
| to ship the coal from the mines to the
! consumers. The Geological Survey
reports show that during the month
Of May the mines were prevented

they might have shipped through lack

being shipped abroad we would still

will help that situation except more
railroad cars ct tie mines to move

1.-THE Interstate Commerce Com

Association a month ago also re

The National Coal ASSOCIATION a
month ago also requested the Inter
state Commerce Commission to take
prompt, decisive action, so as to en-.
ale the GENERATORS to produce and dis
