SOFT COAL OUTPUT
HOLDS UP---HARD
KIND STATIONARY

Washington. April 30.-Bituminous
coal output during the past week
reached the highest peak since the be-
ginning OF the miners strike, the geo.
logical survey announced today. Pro-
duction of anthracite, however re-
NAMED at practically zero.
Telegraphic reports as to production
covered loadings through last Thurs
day and indicated, it was said, that if
there was no unexpected slump the to-
tai soft coal output for the week
would approximate 4,150,000O tons. "A
total of 1871 cars was loaded last
Monday-the greatest number since the
strike began. This level, however, was
topped on Tuesday when loading ap-
proximated 1887. and on Wednesday
when 1880 cars were loaded. On
Thursday 10000 cars We're loaded.
The increase during the week. the
surveys statement declared came
largely from the non-union districts
Of the middle and southern Appala-
chians. 1t was not due, the statement
added, to the return to work of strik-
ing miners, either union or non-unon,
but rather to increased demand re-
sulting in greater activity in those dis
! tricts which have remained at work.
Revised figures shown a production
during the week ended Saturday. April

600 tons of soft coal and 5000 tons of
anthracite.
| The present weekly rate of coke pro-
duction. reports to the geological sur
vey show, is 40 per cent. of tLat during
the week before the strike. The clos
ing down of additional plants in the
Connellsville region during the third
week of the strike. 1t was stated, was
the principal factor in this decrease.
| In an analysis of the coal situation
made public today. the United States
! Chamber of Commerce declared that al
