Governor Hammill Urges Use of Iowa Coal
Governor Hammill appeals for Iowans to burn home mined coal. He cites that Iowa's coal could last 3,000 years at 7,400,000 tons annually, with about 4,000 miners employed though many not fully staffed. He notes 1924 consumption figures showing domestic coal use and rail needs, implying Iowa coal usage exceeds its mining output compared with other states.
