appointment In this there are as many stories floating around Car son as there are possibilities In the first place there is a general demand for ent warden is shared in erats alike petition around the capital asking that Max long expected revolt of the adherents well be retained and scores of names were affixed to it A second story that has roused the politicians is the statement that Ray Baker is to receive the plum at the hands of Governor Oddie and his brother Clove Baker Then there is the claim asserted by the individual himself that Jim Benton has the job nailed down Baker Appears Certain Tt seems to be generally accepted that Ray appointment has been decided upon by Governor Oddie and the attorney general but whether it will go through in spite of the op position developed is problematical If it does not go through it is deemed certain that some will be made that bllity affect the commission It is not without bility that on backdown from the original plan Baker might be ap pointed to succeed Commissioner Thurtell when the latter goes to AVashington It is a foregone conclu sion that a republican must be ap pointed ana itay waKer is repub lican The possibility is further

bituminous mines 390000000 and 400000000 The coal mining industry of Illinois and the southwestern states includ'ing Kansas Missouri Arkansas and Ok Lahoma was demoralized for nearly 1 six months in 1910 by the struggle be? twee(i the miners and the operators over the wage scale In anticipation of the strike on April 1 the mines of the Mississippi valley region were operated with unusual activity during the first three months of the year and about 50 per cent of the increase over the normal tonnage was won during this time Production After Strike After mining was resumed in Sep tember there was a strong effort to make up for lost time The increase in production which resulted from the strike was between 10000000 and 15000000 tons The suspension in the northwestern states gave exceptional opportunity for coal from New Mexico Colorado and Alabama to make heaxy inroads in the markets naturally tributary to Oklahoma and Arkansas It also gave substantial encouragement to the de velopment and expansion of the use of lignite in Texas The industry in Arkansas and Ok lahoma has suffered from other trou bles than the strike' There has been a strong tendency on the part of the miners to use increased quantities of powder land it also is said dynamite is frequently used a practice which is dangerous not only to life and prop erty but results in a largely increased i percentage of slack The coal industry of the southwest has suffered also from the compe tition of cheai fuel oil and of natural I gas AVASHINGTON Jan 2 The pro duction of coal in the United States in 1910 was between 4750'00000' and 485000000 short tons a considerable increase over the output of 459 715 704 short tons in 1909 and near the1 previous record of 480363024 tons produced in 1907 This estimate was made by Edward AV Parker from reports received by the United States geological survey from coal mine operators 'and others familiar with the industry most important factor influ encing the coal mining industry in longed strike in Illinois and the south western states This strike or suspen sion which started on April 1 pend ing an adjustment of the wage scale was not settled until September 15 and after that much time was lost in putting the mines into condition for operation so that period of idleness was fully six months Operators Grant Demands 'The settlement was a practical surrender of the operators to the de mands of the miners with an increase of 555 per cent in wages similar increase tvas granted in other states either before the strike or during the suspension or subsequent to it During the idleness many of the miners who were on strike in Illi Captain Davis of the cruiser nOjSj obtained employment in the mines of competitive states and helped to increase the output there which offset the shortage in the states af fected: tables of increases in produc tion were made Jn the western coun ties of Kentucky in western Pennsyl vania and in Ohio Ala bama Colorado New Mexico and Montana The states whose produc tion was reduced by the strike were Illinois Kansas Missouri and Okla homa It was claimed by the miners that on June 1 1910 70000 miners were idle in Illinois and 35000 in the southwest that is Kansas Missouri Arkansas Oklahoma and Texas Total Yearly Production mines also were 'operated of Manuel Bonilla against the Davilla government in Honduras has broken out
