Coldest Winter of War Warned If Mine Output Falls
Secretary Ickes warned the Senate War Investigating Committee that next winter could be the coldest of the war for Americans unless 37 million tons of coal can be released by discharging miners from military service. He urged 6 million tons of coal be sent to liberated and neutral Europe, emphasized coal must come from miners, and warned of riot and upheaval if supply remains tight. He noted current stockpiles are depleted and fuel oil is unlikely to ease the shortage. He also stressed no coal would go to Germany and that the army resisted releasing miners.
