Investment in Coal Mines and Machinery Rise Across Industry
The bituminous coal industry plans to invest about 500 million more in new machines and facilities over three years, supplementing 1947 spending. Depreciation and high replacement costs limit true profits, but ongoing equipment upgrades boost safety and efficiency, with 1948 budgets for research and locomotive development. More than three billion dollars is invested in coal land, mining, and processing, advancing U S coal industry efficiency.

A Virginia Safety conference in Norfolk highlighted mine dust and old versus new mining methods, with leaders from Pocahontas Coal and Mine Safety Appliance speaking.
