STRIKE CAUSES NEW
Low MARK FOR j. S.
COAL PRODUCTION
Coal Mining Practically at a
Standstili as First Week
of Strike Ends.

WASHINGTON. April PRO
duction Of bituminous coal IN the
United states dropped to $500 900
tons-the lowest in modern coal
history-while work in the anthra-
cite fields ceased entirely during the
first week of the coal strike. ac-
cording to a review of the industry
issued Sunday by the United States
geological survey.
Reports received by the survey in
dicated that from so to 81 percent
Of the bituminous tonnage of the
country has been closed down by
the strike while of the remainder a
significant portion has not been Op-
Grating recently for lack Of demand.
In the first week Of the 1919 strike
the survey SAID II percent Of the
bituminous fields were closed. but
"the anthracite mines operated at
capacity"
Taking April as the first real
test Of the effect Of the strike the
survey noted that coal loadings ag-
gregated 11,445 cars against 38,056
cars on the same day of the pre-
ceding week. This total was con-
tinued without substantial change
through the next five days, fixing
an estimated production for the
week of three and a half million
tons.
Increased Before Strike.
Production of biuminOus increas-
ed almost 10 the last shift before
the strike call but because of the
decline on the last day of the week
Saturday April /, the aggregate pro
duction of 1O453.OO tons was
slightly under that of the preceding
week
Heavy production also marked the
last FIVE working days in the an
thracite fields. according to the sur
vey. 1926 cars being loaded.
Bituminous coal production dur
ing the first week of the coal strike
was estimated at slightly under four
million 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 restricted pro-
duction is 10 be found in the inabil-
ity of the operators to find a market
for their coal.
Thousands of cars OF coal are
standing on the mine sidings await
ing billing orders" a statement is
sued by the association said tonight
Reports from nOn-union fields state
that production IS running at vari-
Gus rates from 40 10 20 per cent of
normal In the union fields the fac
tor limiting production is in gen
eral the strike. but in the non-union
fields the limiting factor is describ-
ed as continued lack of orders"
The +. O b. spot price Of bitumin-
Gus is practically the lowest price
reached ar any time since the Unit
ed States entered the war. the state
ment said. adding that consumers
thus far, have displayed no anxiety
as To- fuel supply.
