Ohio Coal Tonnage Sees Gains at Toledo Docks
M. B. Connors, general manager of the Hocking Valley, reports coal tonnage to the northwest rising versus last year. By November 10, 3,571,717 tons were dumped at Toledo docks this season against 4,077,425 to the same date last year, with a deficit narrowing. Weather and a 1919 soft coal strike reduced November shipments to the upper lakes, but improving car service and milder weather have lifted the coal situation compared with four months ago.
