Set Coal Mines
On ebay Week

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 20.-An-
thracite mines are scheduled 10
operate on a siX-day basis this
week, which normally would call
for production of 1.441 ,632 tons.
Although production figures for
last week are not yet available, II
is reliably estimated that between
10000 and 300.0 900 tons of produc-
ton were lost by the strike.
Shortage of domestic anthracite
sizes continues undated in the
East. The government order stop
ping coal shipments of domestic
sizes west of Erie and into Canada
has done little TO alleviate the
situation since most of the coal for
the western and northern areas is
sent TO the lake ports in the sum-
mer where it is distributed
throughout the winter. Little coal
is ordinarily shipped to those areas
during the winter months.

Lost Here Through
Ravaees Of Weather
BY sILER FREEMAN

No doubt there is an absentee
ism problem in the war plants.
But when the clutch comes, the
workers come through. Despite
yesterdays snowfall, which pro-
vlded a perfect excuse 10 skip a
day on the line. absenteeism
failed TO r1se perCeptIbfy and
even hardness was not as seri-
Gus as had been expected.
There was little production
lost because of the weather,
plant officials stated after a
quick check. The only spot
affected was the forging depart
ment at the Rouge plant OF
Ford'S and that was only for a
half an hour on the first shift,
due 10 transportation difficult
ties.
Willow Run, where officials
expected the heaviest absentee
ism, showed no increase over the
regular Tuesday level. In one
General Motors plant, absentee
ism dropped from the average
for the day.
All in all, there was no COM
plant about the workers taking
advantage Of the snow.
