Texas Coal Output In 1914 Reaches Record Levels
Texas produced 2,523,773 short tons of coal in 1914 valued at $3,022,459, split roughly evenly between lignite and bituminous. Total output dropped 4.34 percent from 1913, due mainly to a rise in petroleum production displacing coal and lignite as fuel. Labor strikes touched the mines, and only limited use of mining machines occurred.
