Heavy Demand on Iowa Coal Mines Strains Local Supply
Des Moines reports an unusually strong demand for Iowa coal this winter. State mine inspector Edward Sweeney says foreign-born miners left for war fronts, and young workers joined munitions plants, reducing labor available. With outside coal restricted, Iowa mines must meet rising local demand despite limited labor and transportation hurdles. Over 16,000 miners operate in Iowa with 1915 output at 7,630,088 tons and 1916 expected to rise.
