Coal mines of Northern West Vlr ginla last week produced 8.856 cars or 422,800 tons of coal. This was 1,171 loads less than the previous week due to the observance of Labor Day. Some divisions produced more coal last wek than during I the previous week due to the fact that the car supply was temporarily improved. Production by divisions was as follows: B. & 0.?Monongah/ 3.280 cars; Charleston, 546 cars; Connellsvllle, 149 cars; Cumberland, 389 care; M. & K? 407 cars; M. & W.,/1,274 cars; Monongahela, 1.896 cars; W. M.?W.-B. & H. R., 742 cars; B. & W., 191 cars. Divisional Gains. Divisions that gajned last week were as follows: B. & O.?Monon-i gah, 671 cars; Charleston, 235 cars; Connellsvllle, 30 cars; W. M?B. & H. R., 26 cars; B.&W., 16 cars. Losses sustained were as follows: B. & 0? Cumberland, 322 cars; M. & K.. 140 cars; M. & "VV., 90 cars; Monongahela, 1,597 cars. The coal loading last week means that $1,902,600 would come into Northern West Virginia If all of the coal was disposed of at the rate of $4.50, the Hoover price. A better average would be $4.75 which-would aggregate '$2,008,300. However, some deduction must be made in view of the fact that a goodly per-j centage is not placed on the commercial market, but is relayed to certain public utilities, which operate their own mines in Northern Wept Virginia. In/Coke Section. Commenting on the situation in the coke belt the Connellsyille Courier in part states the following: "The trade at large is still talking strike and strike prospects, but the keener observers have como to the conclusion in the past few days that transportation is going to he the dominant factor in making the market condition, not tne strike. These observers admit that the strike is still on. in the sense thai there remain a great many strikers, also in the sense that many of those who are strikers are very strong in their views on the subject They think they have won the strike and that all that Is left is for the operators to sign up. "When, however, the limit of employment is closely approached or actually reached, on account of car supplies -becoming a limiting factor, the more strikers there are the weaker Is their case, Tor there is not room to put many of them back: into employment. There being so| many strikers outside, yet with a' | very fair production occurring, it is { evident that tha number of men: I Ki-nnohf Inln ?V<a ranlnn < nnt #..11..!
