Army Asked to Release rs 900
Coal Miners to Ease Shortage
BY s. BURTON HEATH
NEA Staff Correspondent


ST. GAINESVILLE, o. - A
bituminous coal shortage of at
least IS million tons could be
averted this year il $4,000 more
miners were made available in
the coal fields, experts say. But
the most they can hope for, ap-
parently, is around 1000.
As result, although Ameri-
can mines are capable Of pro-
ducing TAO million tons a year,
the operators fear that they can
not dig as much as $40 million
tons this year. Unless they do,
useholders who heat W t h
soft" coal will not get even the
80 per cent OF normal tonnage
that has been promised them.
This sharp decrease from last
years record output OF $40 mil
lion tons is attributed to a
steady drain of coal field man
power ever since the war be-
gan. In 1910, the Bureau of
Mines reports, 100000 m e n
whose average age was only 81
years old, produced slightly un-
der 46l million tons. This year
$4,000 men, who average As
wears old. are asked TO dig 800
million tons. .m
CAN'T STAND PACE "
The $4,000 drop in personnel
and the 13-year rise in average
age reflect the drafting OF the
youngest, strongest men, and
the-xhift away frnm-the most
essential Of all way production
has been encouraged by the War
Manpower Commission, which
has sent caravans into the coal
fields recruiting miners for fac
tory work.
The men who remain include
many who came out Of retire
ment after we got into the war.
One man who Is 81 years old
has been found working in a
mine. Twelve were found who
averaged more than IS years
old. On the train that brought
, me out OF the Hanna Coal and
Ore Companys' Willow Grove
mine near here, the only man
who looked as young as As was
the assistant superintendent act
ing as my escort.
Such men have showed aver
age production up from 1049
tons per man-year In 1910 TO
1919 tons per man-year in 1914.
But they can not stand that
pace. Last years record was
made possible by super-produc-
ton during the first half. From
January through June. 10000
600 tons less were mined this
year than last.
"The nations bituminous
mines are capable of producing
almost unlimited quantities of
coal" Robert Livingston Ire
land, Jr., president of the Hanna
Coal and Ore Co. and treasurer
of the Bituminous Coal Institute,
told me.
I'VE can't fight this war with
out coal. 1t takes coal to run
trains, to make steel, to produce
electricity, TO heat homes. II
there is any one commodity that
is more essential to war produc-
ton than any other. 1t is coal.
"Our will to mine coal is
proven by last years 100000
0O0-ton record, made by rela-
lively old miners who averaged
more than so per cent greater
than pre- war production per
man. But we can not 60 on like
