Missouri Coal Production in 1910 Cuts Deep Amid Strike
Missouri produced 2,982,433 short tons of coal in 1910, down from 3,756,530 in 1909, due largely to a strike from April 1 to September 15. The strike reduced output by about 20 percent, though mines stored fuel early in the year to mitigate losses. Prices fell 13.83 percent, and 9,691 workers were employed with 7,774 on strike for 157 days on average.
