THE bituminous coal industry has
operated during the last year at
hardly more than so per cent of
capacity, and, as an industry, at a
loss,' reported John D. Battle. exec
utive secretary of the National Coal
Association, in a year-end statement
today.
The 1888 output has been 1OO,-
100000 tons below both the 1895 and
the 1887 totals, a decline of nearly
Is per cent, shrinkage of more
than s400, 100000 in combined mine
operating income and coal freight
rail revenues, principally reflected in
diminished pay rolls.
Price stabilization, which was to
have been achieved through the
Guffey Coal Act, has thus far
after nearly two years-failed to
materialize and is still uncertain.
The upturn now in progress in
industry generally is resulting in a
moderately increased demand for
industrial fuel where bituminous
coal predominates. and in some i'm
provement in the price structure.
Cost Has Doubled.
1T is self-evident, however, that
prosperity in 1899 for our industry,
comprising nearly 5000 operating
units in % coal-producing States
and normally employing half a mil
lion miners, is contingent upon a
downward revision in the present
production cost, which has more
than doubled since 1882, plus some
upward revision in mine prices;
coupled with adjustment of some
OF the peculiarly unfair competitive
factors that are progressively cur
failing the markets for bituminous
coal.
The high level at which rail
freight rates on bituminous coal
have been maintained through the
depression is an adverse factor from
which no relief is Immediately in
sight.
The tax load on coal operations
has more than doubled in the past
year, or two and currently amounts
to more than IL cents per ton of
output.
Imports of foreign petroleum oil
from Venezuela and the Dutch West
Indies, at the rate of nearly l 900 900
barrels per week, is hurting coal
in the Atlantic and Gulf areas.
dump Rates" Scored.
distribution of natural gas to
industry at dump rates is another
handicap. Hydroelectric power pro-
motion with Government subsidy
is still another phase of Goals COM
petltive situation that is increasing
ly hurtful.
Average hourly earnings in the
bltumlnous coal industry as cur
rently reported by the United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics are 81
cents, as compared with 40 cents in
1888. Average labor costs per ton
in the Appalachian territory has
been computed at $1.34, as compared
with 63 cents in May, 1888.
Under all the existing circum-
stances it has proved impossible to
obtain prices for coal that will sus-
tain this high labor cost, with the
consequence that with high wage
scale and high hourly earning rate
the miners are actually earning
less because declining output has
so sharply curtailed running time
at the mines"
