The features in the coal strike situation
are the continued practical tie-up in the
anthracite coal region, output there being
confined to washery production. a slightly
larger output in the Connellsville (Pa.)
soft coal or colxing coal field, and dis
tinctly marked step forward in the non
union fields Of eastern and western Ken
lucky. West Virginia and Alabama. In
the latter two regions output stimulated
by better prices. is said to be little below
normal. The estimated output In the soft
coal regions Of the country for the week
ending April % was 4150,000 tons, and
the output this week will certainly exceed
this quantity, with the claim made that
given the stimulus Of higher prices, the
nonunion output can be pushed up to
100000. tons maximum. Present con-
sumption is said to be about 5000, 900 tons
weekly, which is 100000 tons below the
maximum output reached under the slim
illus Of war needs. With the output 4.000,-
900 to 100000 tons and consumption
100000, the weekly reduction of the
5000, 900 tons in stock above ground April
would be 5000. 900 to 100000 tons.
