TUESDAY EVENING,
Bituminous Mines Must
Yield Nation's Supply of
Coal For Next Winter
By Jsroctiiud Press
Philadelphia, May 28. The pro
duction of coal in the United States
for the year beginning; April 1, must
reach 735,000.000 net tons. J. D. A.
Morrow. General Director of Distri
bution of the United States Fuel Ad
ministration, to-day told the National
Coal Association in convention here.
This means an increase of 85,000,000
tons over the production of the coal
year 1917, If the war demands of the
country are to be met. It is doubtful.
Mr. Morrow said, if the production of
anthracite coal can be increased over
last year's total of 89,000,000 gross
tons. Therefore, the entire 85,000,000
tons must come from the bituminous
mines.
Giant Submarine
Sinks Large U-Boat
London, May 28.—The sinking of
a German submarine by a British
submarine off Cape St. Vincunt
shows that the British have cruising
submarines and this is only one in
cident where a submarine has sunk a
submarine, says Archibald Hurd in
the Daily Telegraph. The Cape St.
Vincent incident took place more
than 2,000 nautical miles from Ply
mouth. He continues:
"It is indeed no secret to the Ger
mans that soon after the outbreak of
the war a great number of large
submarines were laid down in this
country. It is also no secret that
for many months past many of these
craft have been used in submarine
hunting.
"British submarines have been
employed in this way with great
success. They also have proved use
ful in convoy work."
Induction of Colored
Men Is to Close
Telegraphic instructions from Camp
Meade, this morning, ordered Lieu
tenant Harry King Tootle, assistant
adjutant of the Three Hundred and
Fifty-first Heavy Field Artillery, to
close his station in Harrisburg to
day. No colored men will be accepted
for induction who cannot leave for
camp Wednesday. Hence this even
ing no men will be accepted at the
recruiting office maintained in Mar
shall's Pharmacy. 629 Boas street, un
less they are able to have their draft
boards start them for Camp Meade to
morrow. It is evident from these or
ders, as well as those which held up
the city's drive for men who must
register June 5, that the way is be
ing cleared for the operation of the
draft machinery unhampered by in
dividual inductions or enlistments.
STORES TO CI,OSE
All merchants affiliated with the
Keystone Grocers' Association and
with the Harrisburg Retail Grocers'
Association will close their stores all
day on Thursday, Memorial Day.
COAL RATION
PLAN IS FIXED
BY GARFIELD
Failure to Add to Production
Indicates Demand Will
Exceed the Supply
Washington May 28. —The system
of distribution for the entire output
of coal, both anthracite and bitumi
nous, has been determined upon by
the United States fuel administra
tion, it was learned to-day. It in
cludes the apportionment of the en
tire available supply by geographical
districts and states so that every sec
tion will receive the full amount
which can be devoted to its indus
tries.
Final decision in the plan was
reached after a conference between
Doctor Garfield, Federal fuel admin
istrator, and the anthracite commit
tee. Figures on the distribution of
anthracite coal are to be made at
once, while those for bituminous
coal probably will not be available
for a week, due to the fact that some
last-minute changes were made in
the anthracite schedule, necessitat
ing a rearrangement of the bitumi
nous figures.
Reports from the state fuel ad
ministrators, the estimated produc
tion for the year and a survey of
the industries of the nation were the
foundation upon which the distribu<
tion plan was evolved.
AH Ask Too MUCH
It was said that the estimates of
the state administrators as to the
needs of their respective localities
had not been met, as they were all
too high. At the same time the fuel
administration forced its figures on
production in order to be able to
allot what was plain was the mini
mum on which the various sections
could get along. The industrial sur
vey was another important factor,
as the officials were unable to pro
ceed on a basis of population or
other existing figures, but were
forced to take into consideration the
expansion of the industries and the
increased consumption brought
about in allied industries.
The distribution scheme, in addi
tion to alloting the amount of coal to
be given the various regions will
determine the field of production
from which it is to be supplied, and
the short haul will be rigidly ad
hered to so that consumers living
close to the fields producing the
more expensive grades of coal will
be provided with them regardless of
other factors.
Another Shortage Predicted
The fuel administration does not
make any concealment of the nrni
pect that there will be a fuel short
BDLRRISBURG TELEGRAPH
age during the year. The require
ments for bituminous coal as ascer
tained by the administration experts
indicate that the production will
likely fall considerably short of the
necessary amount.
This was one of the reasons that
the distribution plan was pushed to
completion In order that every sec
tion of the country might be in
formed as to its exact status in rela
tion to the available supply and at
tempt to adjust its needs accordingly
or else bring a problem to the offi
cials in Washington for further ad.
judication.
The estimated production of bltu
minous coal at present is placed at
600,000,000 tons, although the hope
has been expressed that the settle
ment of the railroad-fuel problem
and the lncrcascd-car efficiency
which the railroad administration
has promised will increase the fig
ure. The needs, although not defi
nitely determined probably will b
around 650,000,000.
| The fuel administration does not
anticipate any material increase in
anthracite production during the
present coal year. That anthracite
mining fields have contributed a
large number of miners to the army
service is given as the explanation
at the mines, and in addition the dif
ficulty that is being experienced in
recruiting additional help.
The estimated requirements of
anthracite coal in the markets for
the year are 79.000,000 tons. To
reach this aggregate an increase in j
the production of approximately'
2,000,000 tons will be necessary. The
production for the year 1917 was
98,720,802 tons; but of this total
production 77,133.305 tons were
from the mines, the balance being
required for consumption at and
about the mines.
