COALSHORTAGE
ON WAY; GOVT.
SAYSBUY NOW
May Be Repetition of 1917-18
Conditions Next Winter Says
Geological Survey.
MINIS IDLE WITHOUT ORDERS.
Those Who Delay Ordering
Longer May Not Get Their
Fuel Later On.
The United States Geological Survey
announces from Washington the prob
ability of another general coal short
age next fall and whiter. The an
nouncement Is based, the Suqpey
states, upon a nag ion-whle study of
conditions in the bituminous fleld.
Unless steps are taken at once, the
Survey says, to place the mines npou
a basis of Increased production there
Is every prospect of a repetition to
some degree of the situation that pre
vailed In the United Slates during the
winter of 1917-18.
The only way production can be stim
ulated at the present time, It Is sold, Is
by placing orders with the mines for
coal which will be needed later on.
“Production during the first five months
of the year," reads the statement, “fell
(17,292,000 net tons, or approximately
2(1% below production during the first
five months of 1918. Mines are produc
ing coal now at the rate of from 8,000,-
000 to 8,(500,000 tons a week. An aver
age output of 10,700,000 tons a week
must be maintained from June 1 to
January 1 next If the country’s esti
mated needs of 500,000,000 tons this
year are to he met"
Evil of Delayed Orders.
At no time during tills year has the
rate of production approached the re
quired tonnage. The tendency on the
part of buyers to hold off placing their
orders Is limiting production, as the
mines cannot store coal at the point of
production, and when the rush of
orders for the winter's needs comes
next fall there Is grave danger that
the mines, with depleted labor forces
and the probability of less adequate
transportation, will he unable to meet
the demands. The result of such a sit
uation would be an insufficient supply
for the requirements of domestic c6n-
sumers, public utilities and Industrial
n^ers generally.
"It Is believed that requirements for
this year," reads a Survey statement
to Fuel Administrator Garfield, “will
be about 530,000,000 tons of bituminous
coal, of which approximately 80,665,666
tons have been used from stocks accu^
mulated last year, leavlhg 500,000,OOO
tons to be produced. Of this 500,000,-
000 tons 178,000,000 tons were produc
ed during the first five months, leaving
822,000,000 tons to be produced In the

DO NATIONAL HIGHWAYS
MEAN GOOD HOMES. GOOD
SCHOOLS AND GOOD
CHURCHES IN THE
COUNTRY
The editor of the Sentinel as
serts that they do, and I want him
to furnish some proof to verify the
assertion by pointing out one sin
gle community out side of rail
road town and eities that have
built modern schools and churches
on national highways.
My observation hat l>.*en the re
verse.
W. I. D.
The above inquiry would have
been published and answered last
week hut fo our absence attending
the Georgia Press Association.
We challenge the statement of
W. 1. 1). that good roads cause a
lack of good homes, good churches
and good schools, and ask him to
designate a single instance where
in that is the ease.
He uses the term “National
Highway” and asked us to pom
out s single community that has
received such benefits.
In the first place, there are not
yet. any National Highways that
have been established for any
length of time but we make the
assertion broader and state that
on any good highway you will find
better homes, better schools, and
better churches.
If W. I. D. will go with me to
TenileSsee of Kentucky where turn
pikes have been in existance for
years, I’ll show him barns better
than the average housse ill this
country, and I’ll show him school
houses and churches that would
be a credit to any town of from
two to three thousand population
land I’ll show him farms that are
them flve or six days a week unless the worth double wluit thev were be-
tlireotened exodus of foreign-born labor
occurs.
May Be Car Shortage.
"Present wage agreiuente between
operators and miners expire with
the proclamation of pence l>y the Pres
ident. A suspension of mining oper
ations while n new wage agreement Is
being negotiated would, of course, seri
ously Interfere with the production of
coal and If It should occur during the
fall would cause a panic among buyers
ttnd consumers of coal."
There Is no use In gambling upon
this or any other contingency, fuel ad
ministration officials say. The Arm or
Individual who wants to be suro of an
adequate coal supply next winter can
be certain by buying coal now. There
is no other way such assurance
can be obtained. Transportation also
promises to be a limiting factor tf the
flood tide of demand comes at a time
When the country's record crops are
being carried. In some districts It
would appenr certain (bat, notwith
standing the utmost endeavors of the
Railroad Administration and the util
ization of Its experience last full, car
shortage will be a enuse limiting liutl-
minous coal production, and for tlmt
reason It is problematical whether the
expected production of 300,000,000 tons
can be attntned tills year.
Shortage of labor ulreudy Is a fac
tor that Is cutting down the output In
some coni producing sections, accord
ing to (he Survey's report; The opera
tors report that from 36,000 to 40,000
foreign-born miners expect to return to
Europe us soon as they can get pass
ports and tlmt many have already' re-
turned. If continued this movement
will be capable of producing but one
result—a reduction of the amount of
coal mined In districts where the mine
labor is largely foreign-born, and there
are many such districts. >
He who needs coal should hesitate
no longer. Mow la the time to buy
eoal, ,
for the highways were built.
Just as well say that there is no
such thing as small pox because
you never had it as to say there it
no good- from highways when you
have never seen them.
