Mines Still Down In North Fields
Northern West Virginia coal officials studied a paralyzing car shortage as Southern West Virginia mines reported above average production. Capt Oscar Ludwig Carlson, new supervising officer for Pittsburgh area, met with union and operator officials at Fairmont on the car shortage and urged supply loosening soon. On the Baltimore and Ohio Monongah Division, 48 mines closed as only 1,800 cars could be supplied of 3,200 on order. Monongahela Railroad ran at 46 percent of normal demand. In the Southern field the Pocahontas Coal Operators Association said June output reached 2,727,780 tons versus 2,423,700 last year, with weekly production up to 642,869 tons by July 20 from 614,498 the prior week and 566,013 the year before.
