COAL IS 50,000,000 TONS
SHORT IS CLAIMED
INDIANAPOLIS, (By mail.) —
That in excess of 60,000,000 addi
tional tons of coal could have been
produced during 1917 by union min
ers in the United States is the state
ment made by John L. Lewis, Vice
Pdnesident of the United Mine
Workers of America.
Lewis was formerly a statistician
of the miners’ union, and at the
time of his elevation in October to
tho vice-presidency as a result of a
vacancy created by the resignation
of John P. White to become associ
ated with the federal fuel adminis
tration, had in progress a nationwide
investigation into car shortages af
fecting union territories.
The questionnaire sent out by
Lewis sought information of all idle
days due to car shortages from the
2,700 local unions comprising the
international body, from December
1, 1916, to November 1, 1917.
Tho life of the coal industry, hav
ing been a lean one prior to the
winter of 1916, the miners’ local
unions have not universally adopted
as yet a recordkeeping system that
affords accurate information. But
by comparing their looal records
with those of the coal company
offices at the mines more than 550
locals responded.
In Ohio, out of a membership of
40,553, embraced in 450 local unions
63 locals reported, with 6,593 mem
bers, loss of time due to car short
ages the equivalent of 1,521,588
tons.
In Illinois, out of a membership
of87,189, embraced in 307 local
unions, 38 locals, with 12,137 mem
bers, reported loss of time due to
car shortages the equivalent of 2,
314,273 tons.
In Pennsylvania (bituminous),
out of a membership of 79,982, em
braced in 428 local unions, 44 locals,
with a membership of 8,762, report
ed loss of time due to car shortages,
the equivalent of 1,228,608 tons.
In Indiana, out of a membership
of 24,649, embraced in 202 local
unions, 29 locals, with a membership
of 4,627, repot Cod loss of time due
to car shortage the equivalent of
1,123,315 tons.

tent of idleness the miners have
suffered throughout the country due
to car shortages, and places the
blame for the present-day coal fam
ine squarely upon the railroads,”
Lewis declares.
By figuring the basic averages
for all union coal fields for reported
loss of production Cue to car short
age, it is estimated that the per cap
ita producing power of the 410,000
union miners was reduced approx
imately 82.7 tons per man employed
aggregating a total loss of 36,760,
715 tons.
Only 25 per cent of tho member
ship reported, of which fully 5 per
cent could not secure accurate in
formation to make answer to the
questionnaire.
If all the local unions reporting
whoso membership had suffered idle
ness due to car shortrge and main
tained records. Lewis believes that
the tctal loss for the union fieldi
alone would have exceeded 50,000, -
000 tons.
