In October last European ooun
tries were promised 25.000.000 tons
of coal from the Ruhr to be sup
plied during the period between No
vember last and April 1, 1946 It is
now evident that deliveries will fall
f* 1 ' short of this figure. Shortage
manpower, low productivity per
man-shift and lack of transport,
which are responsible for present
difficulties, are likely to prevail for
some time yet.
Prewar Exports High
The Ruhr area normally produced
about. 125.000,000 tons of coal a yeai

I T was almost an hour later when
Stephen Willson came out to
smoke his before-bed cigar.
“Mind if I keep you company,
Nona?" he asked. He sat down
rather heavily. Everything was
Very dark now, the night was very
deep and the only touches of light
were the end of Mr. Willson’s
cigar and the flashes of heat light
ning still darting up from the
horizon.
“Do you think it will rain,
Nana?” he asked.
Before I answered, 1 wondered
to myself why we were all so
anxious about rain. The heat had
made uneasy and a
■torm might cool the air, but it
seemed to me that here was more
to It than that. 1 ’’was the urn
easiness that pervaded the house,
that made it tense, that needed
releasing. A violent clash in the
elements might tend to ease the
strain, as though being reduced
to the fundamentals which the
natural elements represent would
Strip each of us of the protective
covering we had thrown around
our various emotions.
He didn’t realize I hadn’t an
swered him; he just went on. “It
would be a pity to have the pa
rade spoiled, and we would have
to move the picnic into the club

the Ruhr coal has been mainly one
of finding manpower and ol in
creasing their productive capacity,
By August, 1945, more than :60.000,
or over 50 per cent of the prewar
labor force, were bark to work, but 1
tile rate of output was only about
20 per cant. i
At present coal output ,>er man- ;
shift is back to about 0.79 tons, or;
approximately half the prewar level.
Labor Is now being recruited and
directed to the mines, with many of
those demobilized from the army

Suddenly he said, “Nana, some
thing has to be done about Phil

this situation for Fletch—for ev

I didn’t answer him. His words
were the same as Betsy’s. “Some

A NDREW STITES and Dru came
in shortly after that, and came
out to the terrace.
Dru stayed only long enough to
tell me that they had seen Wil
liam Powell and he was smooth
and amusing, and that she and
Uncle Andrew had pretended they
were 16 and had gone to the drug
store for sodas afterwards, then
she went up to her room.
Andrew Stites and I sat there
for a time in silence, then he said,
“Do you know, Jemima Harrold,
I feel quite old tonight.”
“Well,” I said, “considering your
age”—Andrew Stites was four
years older than I,

I’m just wondering what detained

He chuckled. Maybe I’m like

minutes, and then he spoke again.

Transport Shortage Felt
According to optimistic estimates,
and "if all goes well," coal output
may reach 50 per cent, or slightly
over, of the prewar output by next
spring or early summer. Whether
tills target will be reached depends.
in addition to the foregoing prob-

was a little like him in his oc
tiong. I was really thinking aloud
when I said, “FIetch Is lik e you
were then.”
He said “Yes," and It waent
until that moment that I remem
bered that both Stites brother*
had been unfortunate in their
marriages.
* • •
J OEL STITES had lost his wife
in the birth of their second
child; Andrew Stites’ wife had
been a grasping, selfish woman,
whose every whim had to be satis
fied if Andrew Stites was to have
any peace. He had broken under
the strain of trying to give her all
she wanted. She divor him
eventually, and married aj succes- h
sion of men after that, one
wealthier than the one “before.
Andrew Stites did not have the
fortune which his brother Joel
had. Their father had owned die
cotton mills which Joel ran, but
Andrew studied law and looked
after the legal matters of the mill
and the family. When Joel had
married my Miss Jenny’s mother,
he had taken over the manage
ment of the carpet mills' Which
her family owned, and that is
where he had really made his
money. Andrew was counsel for
the carpet mills, and he could
have been president of them after
Joel’s death, but he preferred die
»uiet life of his law office to fht
strenuous life of the mills. Money
little to Andrew Stites, even
in hi* young days. A/tor the
months he had spent in a sani
tarium from trying to appease a
money-mad woman, he had oared
even less for it.
He said, “I want you to remem
ber, Nana, that whatever I have
done, I have done for Jenny. It
was the wrong way, though. I
wanted to save Jenny any more
heartache, only I took the wrone
way. But remember, will yor
Nana, that what I have done,
have done for Jenny."

also on a number of other factors.
social and political ones, and on
conditions during the next winter
months.
At present there prevails the
■
paradoxical position that the con
siderable stocks that are still avail
able cannot be utilized despite the
desperate need for ooal ail over
Europe. Stocks in the Ruhr amount
to 2,500,000 tons of coal and SfiOO.
000 tons of coke However, they
cannot be transported to where they
are required because of the lack of
transport . This lack of transport is,
in fact, a no less decisive and retard
ing factor in the development of the
Ruhr production.
The effect on the distribution can
best be judged from the fact that
out of 6,550 locomotives in the Brit
ish zone, some 3.500 Rre waiting for
repair and out of 180,000 railway
wagons, 64,000 are similarly idle,
while more are breaking down each
week. An improvement Is not ex
pected before next May, when It Is
hoped that 1,000 wagons per week
and 100 locomotives per month will
be brought back into service. The
locomotive repair shop of Kiupps
at Essen is being re-started on a
two-shift basis and the Hermann
Goering plant is being converted
for locomotive repairs.
