This condition exists not ly in the
vicinity of Oakland, where quite a
number of mines have been running
fifteen to twenty-four hours each day
for the past two or three years, but
also in the coal producing sections of
Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania. What the future has in store
for the coal producing industry can
not be foretold. Operators look for a
resumption of their mines within the
next two or three months, basing their
claims upon the fact that the visible
supply of coal will become exhausted
within that time and more will have
to be mined to supply the demands
that must of necessity follow.
