AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER Week Ending July 29, 1927 PUTTING HIM ON THE RIGHT ROAD Bituminous Shows Large Gains Over Holiday Week The Sun Sitecinl Service. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 25. The production of bituminous coal during the week ended July 16th including lignite and that coked at the mines is estimated at 8,243,000 net tons. Following a week in which output was curtailed by a full holiday, this indicates a gain of 1,666,000 tons. The average rate per working day has not yet reached the level maintained in June. The total quantity of soft produced during the present calendar year to July 16th approximately a hundred and sixty-si- x working days amounts to 293,428,000 net tons. This is a gain of 3,959,000 over the corresponding period of 1926 when 288,469,000 tons were produced. Preliminary telegraphic reports indicate that car loadings on Monday and Tuesday of the week of July 18th to 23d amounted to approximately 49,756 cars as against 52,722 in the preceding week. Utahs output for the seven days ending July 9th was 58,000 tons. That of Colorado was 116,000, New Mexico 33,000 and Wyoming full working days in the month of 86,000. There was twenty-si- x June as against approximately 25.4 in May. The average daily rate of output for the country as a whole in June was 1,409,000 net tons, a gain of 15,000 or 1.1 per cent over the rate for May. The production of beehive coke during the week ended July 16th is estimated at 106,000 net tons, with one exception the lowest yet recorded for the year 1927. Compared with the preceding week this was a decrease of 8000 tons or 7 per cent. The total output from January 1st to July 16th is 4,675,000 tons, about 33 per cent less than during the corresponding period of 1926. The estimated production of beehive for the week ended July 16th of Washington and Utah (combined) is 2000 net tons, a loss of one thousand tons from the preceding week. Colorado and New Mexico produced 4000. The total production of anthracite during the week ended July 16th is estimated at 1,297,000 net tons. This shows a recovery frchn the losses incident to the Independence Day holiday in the preceding week and is greater by 19,000 tons or 1.5 per cent than the output in the seven days ended July 2d. The accumulative production of anthracite during 1927 to July 16th amounts to 45,076,-00- 0 net tons, about 11 per cent more than that during the corresponding period of 1926. Prices celebration of Pioneer Day of this week was the of many interesting remines-eeueof the states early pioneer life as well as the colorful depicting of progress made from the inestimable resources hidden, at that time from these sturdy immrants. An appropriate program arranged under tlie auspices of the Carlton chapter of Daugh-er- s of Pioneers, was given at the tabernacle and the balance of the day devoted to lasclmll and other sporU and game at Oity Park. The usual salute was fired at sunrise and old glory was unfurled, bedecking the streets and homes of the city. At the tabernacle A. W. Shiner presided and Bishop W. E. Stoker offered the invocation, followed hv the singing of Utah, We Iiove Thee, bv the assembly, led by Aslilcy Bart-ct- t. on Monday A violin solo by Alvin Duke, tremendous Utah has this fine coal ertra of quantities state ia certain of constantly increasing importance as one of the mat sources of the nations fuel, in the opinion of Harry I Gandy, executive secretary of the National Coal, association, vho spent last Wednesday conferring with operators up at Salt Lake City who are members of the na- -' tional association, following his arrival from San Francisco on his retard eastward after a trip to the Pacific Coast. Among those he met during the day was Leon F. Rans, president of the Carbon Fuel company with properties in the Carbon district, who is also, president of the temjjorarv organization of Utah 'coal producers, preliminary to the forming of a state association. Gandy said that his visit to Salt Lake City had nothing to do with the plan to complete a state organization, explaining tint practically all of this states coal men were members of the national association.' He added, however, that the national organization encouraged the forming of such state groups,' saying f Persons engaged in other Ones of business have their associations, and so should coal men. He would not discuss the outlook for the mining industry, explaining that the associations activities did not include consideration 'of prices. He said, however, that there was overdevelopment of the coal rqining industry, with resultant problems. The industry, he stated, can produce more coal, than this, counrty 'demands at At the .same time, he present. thought that development should not be measured merely by immediate demand, but should be based upon maximum demand from consumers. Illustrating this, he said that the xnineB of the country produced during the past year about 500,000,000 tons of fuel. While consumption averaged about 10,000,000 tons a week, he explained, demand at some periods of the year considerably exceeded that. Present development of mines, he aays, make it possible' for them to produce 700,000,000 or 800,000,000 tons annually. OPFOSITION COMES FROM SOME OF THE OPERATORS In an opcn'sUtement forwarded to Gov. George IL Dcm, Senators Reed Smoot and William II. King, Representatives Don B. Colton and E. O. Leathenrood several coal operators of Utah have protested against sup- n bill on the port of the grounds that it will deprive Utah of a coal market which otherwise would develop extensively to the benefit of Swing-Johnso- both Utah and California. The operators committee includes L. F. Rains, Carbon Fuel, J. II. Tonkin of the In dependent Coke and Coal and 8. F. Ballif, Jr., of the Royal company. The statement describes at length Utah's attitude toward natural resources and her desire to employ economically these natural gifts. One concern in California, the Southern California Edison comiwny, will require five thousand tons daily alone J DANVILLE, Ills., July 23. Seven years ago Thomas M. Moses was driving a mule in an Illinois coal mine and receiving each day $1.75 for his efforts. Today Moses became president of the United States Fuel com, pony, a subsidiary of the United States Fuel Steel corporation, in whose mines he encouraged mules to draw ears of black diamonds. He has fourty thousand men under his jurisdiction. He formrly was general superintendent. when it starts operation and will develop a million horsepower. It would mean three trainloads of eoal a day from the Utah mines. This development would give great impetus to the mining industry 'in the state, would mean the employment of additional men at existing mines and the opening of new coal deposits. Because freight rates'' are based upon volume, a considerable reduction could be effected. The coal producers, however, contend that the passage of the bill and the building of the Boulder dam will make a million horsepower of electrical energy, developer through use of water, available for manufacturers in California. The supplying of that states electrical needs through this method wil hinder development of Utah s eoal industry, it is declared. Swing-Johns- on COURT ORDER,' GUNS AND THE LIKE FOR OHIOANS July 22.
