CAR SHORTAGE IS CUTTING DOWN HE.
 COAL PRODUCTION
Working Condition at Mines
 Is Good With No Lack of
 Labor Is Report Made

Railroad car shortage is outing down coal production in the Birmingham dis trict several thousand tons wee,t. ac- cording to reports made by the operators to the Alabama Coal Operators Associa- ton. Mines located along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad are the worst sufferers from the car. shortage. but some of the m1nes shipping over other roads report more or less difficulty on this score.
 The output for the week ended last Saturday was about s46.OO0 tons. the mines reporting showing 331,s6s tons, with l5,oOO tons estimated as the output of the mines that failed to report.
 The Louisville and Nashville road is furnishing from 9 to 50 per cent of the cars requested, while the Southern is falling as low as s to 90 per cent at some of the mines.
 The Yolande mines in Tuscaloosa county were idle two days this week bes cause of inability to get cars, and similar reports come from several other mines. The Pratt Consolidated and other coni-l panies reported considerable trouble on this account.
 The Louisville and Nashville is short of coal cars not only in Alabama, but iR Kentucky where the legislature. now in session is proposing an investigation to ascertain the cause. There have been more complaints of car shortage in Ken lucky than from Alabama operators, Isome reports from that state indicating that several mines have been forced to- close down one or more days week. there because there were no cars to haul the coal away
 Reports made to the Alabama Coal Operators Association and compiled by Statistician Frank V. Evans. indicate that working conditions at the mines are good and that there is little or no trouble on account of lack of labor At two or three of the mines. it is stated. the union employees have refused to submit to physical examination or tD give the names of their dependents. The
 companies are requiring this, it is said. as | a precautionary measure in the enforce-
 ment of the worImens compensation act At two of the mines, it is reported, only
 about 10 per cent of the men are work- | ing, the other 60 per cent having re- fused to be examined or to give the names of their dependents.
