COAL SHORTAGE SEENF0RW1NTER Anthracite Information Bureau Urges Continuous Purchas ing to Help Conditions V MINERS TAKE HOLIDAYS The Anthracite Bureau of Informa tion, of this city, wiys there is every reason to believe that tliorc will be suf ficient supplies of anthracite for do mestic use next winter, provided. there Is no marked diminution of labor sup ply, that next winter is not of undue severity and that consumers spread their orders ho the mines may work steadily during faorable weather. "A continuous (low of conl from the mines is the best cunrantpc against any shortage next winter, Jind n continuous flow of conl depends upon continuous purchasing," the statement mij.s. "Total shipments of anthracite for tho first three mouths of the current coal year, beginning April 1. were 10, 550,221 tons, against 15,l,,,l-"S tons In tho corresponding period of the last normal ear, 11)10, an increase Of more thnn 800,000 tons. "The coal years, beginning April 1, aic the only periods from which ac curate piodiiction and consumption comparisons can be made. Coal mined in January, Kebruarj and March of this year, for instance, belongs to last winter and was burned last winter. Any loss of output in January does not affect supplies after April 1. The pdu cipal decrease in this calendar jcar was in February and March, and it was due to the abnormally mild winter which ennbled householders, who had bought heavily last summer and fall, to go through the whole season without addi tional purchases and even, in some csea, to have some coal left over and available for next winter. "Total shipments for April, May, June in the years 1010, 1017, 101S nnd 101!) have been in,71.-?,0."S tons, 10, 5.18,801 tons, 20,123,208 tons nnd 10, 550,221 tons respectively. The ap parent falling off this jear is about 3,500,000 tons, but most of this ap parent decrease is due to the falling off in the production of steam sizes from washeries which contributed a con siderable tonnage in 1017 and 1018. "The actual falling off in shipments of domestic sizes, that is pea coal and larger, is nbout 000,000 tons for the first quarter of this coal 5 car as com pared with 1018. miners Tnko Holidays "Miners are taking more holidays this year than they did during the war. The total number of generally observed holidays this year, from April 1 to June BO, was twelve; last year there were nine in the same period. The lost out put for these three extra holidays would nearly have made up tho 000,000-ton decrease in shipments of domestic sizes. T.ocal celebrations in honor of return ing soldiers have been numerous, aud have had the effect of reducing output by shutting down temporarily the near by mines or at least diminishing the working force. "Coal consumers, who Inst year took any domestic size they could get, are moro discriminating this year. sThcy want chiefly nut, egg aud stove sizes. Pea coal has been neglected and is going into storage. There are consider able tonnages of pea coal, which is a first-class range fuel nnd even useful in furnaces, aaiiable for immediate ship ment. As the result of temporary in difference to this sUc the amount in storage at the end of January, ap proximately SS.0IHI tons, grew to ap proximately 21.5,01)0 tons by the end of March and to about '!9O,000 tons by the end of June.
