Government warns of coal shortage threatening winter supplies
The United States Geological Survey from Washington warns of another general coal shortage next fall and winter unless mines are ordered to increase production. Production in early 1919 fell about 25 percent from 1918, with current output at 8.5 million tons weekly and a projected need near 500 million tons for the year. Delays by buyers to place orders jeopardize future supply for homes, utilities, and industry, and may force a winter crunch.
