Fuel Administrator H. A. Garfield testified before a Senate committee that war demands have caused a coal shortage despite record production. He cited a 10 percent rise in bituminous and 16 percent in anthracite since 1914, with 50 million tons more soft coal produced but still insufficient. He blamed emphasis on production and price, noting 41 operators received price-based incentives to boost output.
