While Production Drops

tion. of which Leon Sunshine is presi-
dent. is planning to send a large delega-
ton of business men to Washington next
Thursday TO protest to President Har-
ding against continuation of the coal
strike. The association has asked the

run their mines the Government should
run them. and that II the miners won't
work the Government should get others

OUTPUT OF NON-UNION
COAL is NEAR NORMAL
Reports ShoIO 1t From 40 to
20 and so Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, April ,9.-The National
Coal Association in a survey of the
strike situation stated to-day that re-
ports from non-union fields show pro-
duction to be running at various rates
from 40 to 70 and 80 per cent. nor
NAL. In the union fields 1t was added ::
The factor limiting production Is, in
general. the strike, but In the nom
union fields the limiting factor is de-
scribed as continued lack of orders.
The fob spot" price OF bituminous is
practically the lowest reached at any
time since the United States entered the
world war. the statement said, adding
that consumers thus far have displayed
no anxiety as to fuel supply.
Production of bituminous coal dropped
to 100000 tons--the lowest in modern
coal history--while work in the anthra-
cite fields ceased entirely in the first
week Of the strike, the United States
Geological Survey states
Reports received by the survey indi-
Gated that from so to 64 per cent. of
the bituminous tonnage of the country
has been closed down by the strike,
while of the remainder "a significant
portion has not been operating recently
for lack of demand" In the first week
OF the 1919 strike. the survey said. IL
per cent OF the bitumlnous fields were
closed but .'the anthracite mines oper-
ated at capacity"
Taking April 3 as the first real test
OF the effect of the strike, the survey
noted that coal loadings aggregated H.
445 cars, against 3s.056 cars on the same
day OF the preceding week. This total
was continued without substantial change
through the next five days. fixing an
estimated production for the week OF
three and half million tons.
Production Of bituminous increased al
most to the last shift before the strike
call, but because of the decline on the
last day of the week. Saturday, April
/. the aggregate production OF 1O.453.-
900 tons was slightly under that OF the
preceding week.
Heavy production also marked the
last five working days in the anthra-
cite fields, according to the survey
36,255 cars being loaded.
Btuminous coal production during the
first week OF the coal strike was esti-
mated at slightly under 100000 tons
by the National Coal Association. which
declared that while this tonnage was
below the capacity Of the non-union
fields, "the only reason for the re-
stricted production is to be found In
the inability OF the operators 10 find
market for their coal"

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HznALp.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, April o.
Gov. Miller will begin the last week
of the thirty day period in which he has
to act on bills left in his hands by the
Legislature with hearing tomorrow on
eight OF the Lockwood committee hous-
ing bills. Nine were passed by the
Legislature. but the bill extending the
period for the erection Of tax exempt
houses was signed before April I, when
the original period had expired.
Samuel Untermyer. counsel for the
Lockwood committee. will lead the pro-
ponents Of the bills. while a large dele
cation of representatives of insurance
companies and real estate organizations
will appear against them. Senator
Lockwood also will speak for the bills.
1t is understood he has received the
assurance that the Governor will sign
them eli.
The real estate interests are expected
to mass their attacks against the bill
which would enable the Metropolitan
Insurance Company to spend 500 100000
for the erection of moderate priced
dwelling houses In New York city. the
one to extend the emergency rent laws
until 1924 and provide that thirty days
notice of increase of rent must be
given. and also the bill fixing the as
sessed valuation to determine what Is
fair rent.
The insurance men will object princi-
pally to the bill extending the jurisdic-
tion of the State Superintendent of In
f< - LII lot tfAv,c
The other housing bills to be consid-
cred provide for the return of jury fees
IN certain rent cases. prohibit the con-
version of mutual fire insurance COM
panies into stock companies. and one
providing that subcontractors in New
York city can complete their work when
the main contractor fails.
Gov. Miller on Tuesday will give a
hearing on the Westall bill which per-
mits the parole Of first term prisoners
convicted Of felony. Although IA
vored by Father Cashin. Catholic chap
lain of Sing Sing Prison. and several
prison reform organizations 1t is doubt
full II the Governor will sign this bill.
1t has aroused strong opposition on the
ground that it would tend to encourage
crime and that this Is no time to show
any leniency to youthful felons. Gov.
Miller has always held that the one
purpose Of punishment for criminals Is
the deterrent effect it will have on
others.
Hearings also will be given Tuesday
on the bill changing the boundary lines
of the Eleventh. Twelfth. Thirteenth
and Fourteenth Congressional districts
in New York city. and on two bills in
creasing the pay of certain Kings
county employees and officials.
The Governor has about 300 more bills
to act on, and 1t is expected that about
200 of them will be found in the omni-
bus veto. The work on the thirty day
bills will be completed about Thursday.

UNION ORGANIZERS

Better Conditions With
More Work Predicted if
Reduction Is Made.
AN APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Broadway Merchants Associa-
tion Will Ask Harding to
Stop Strike.

If the demands of the anthracite
miners for 20 per cent. wage In
crease are granted the cost of coal
production will be increased SO ton,
which the consumer must pay, accord
ing to statement issued yesterday
by Samuel D. Warmer. spokesman
for the anthracite operators.
Mr.. WARMERS statement indicates
the counter proposals which the oper-
ators will present when the wage con-
ference reconvenes tomorrow will call
for substantial reduction in wages.
He said:
1.-THE anthracite miners having COM
pleted the submission OF their case in
the conferences with operators which
have been held almost constantly since
March 10. the representatives of the op-
orators will begin on Tuesday to present
counter arguments and facts with re-
gard to the miners nineteen demands.
Throughout these conferences the
miners representatives have insisted
upon literal compliance with their de-
mands. without abatement or modfica-
tion. We are, nevertheless. hopeful that
q settlement can be brought about in
| spite OF the fact that all of our en-
ployees have been called out of the mines
regardless of the pending negotiations
with their representatives.
IAN analysis shows that to grant the
demands OF the miners would add ap-
proximately $170.000.0o0 to the annual
80 ,x,4h atf fhtu
Increase would necessarily be borne by
the 53.000.000 tons of the domestic sizes.
the increase in the mine cost would
| amount to more than So a ton.
This added cost would be paid by the
consumer. who so far from being willing
to pay present or increased prices. is
rightly demanding that the price of an
thracite shall be reduced.
| "The industry in 1921 paid about
$3.50, 100000 for. labor. To concede the
minors demands would make the pay
roll OF the industry approximately $780,
| 900. 900 a year.
| "The increases totaling $4,000. 900
now demanded would be superImposed
upon the several increases during the
war. plus 17.4 per cent. increase in 1870,
all OF which resulted in an advance Of
hourly earnings of anthracite miners
between 1914 and 1921 of 162 per cent.
Price Reduction Demanded.
Anthracite producers see no reason
to change the opinion expressed at the
opening of these conferences with the
miners. namely. that conditions demand
substantial reduction in the price OF
hard coal. We desire to pay good
wages. But the rate of pay is not 80
important as regularity of employment.
THE problem to be solved Is what
scale of wages will permit the produc-
tion OF anthracite at a price the con-
sumner is willing to pay. For, as shown.
IL the price is too high consumption de-
clines. and the result Is irregular en-
ployment and dissatisfaction all round.
I'VE are confident that when the situ-
alton in all of It's aspects has been pre-
sented TO. the miners representatives
they will see the impossibility of
conceding demands which would put an
thracte miners wages still further ont
| OF line with others and ultimately react
to their own disadvantage"

COAL FOR SIXTY DAYS.
Strike Causes No Alarm Among
Those I'm the Trade.

Interest in the coal trade this week
has been centered In the strike which
began on April L." says the Black Did-
mond. Stocks in the hands of the
trade, on track and held I'm reserve by
consumers appear to be ample to take
care of necessities In the next sixty days
and the public utilities have supplies es-
timated to last for three months.
''In the anthracite district production
has ceased, but no alarm is felt In view
OF the amplitude of stocks. and there
has been no change in quotations. al
though firmer undertone is noted In
the Pittsburgh district. Consumers early
supplied their future necessities and
business this week has been moderate.
The revival in the steel industry Inn
proved the outlook for business in the
future"
