Soft Coal Production Up NKW YORK, Jan. 1 iVi When all the figures are In, the nation's soft coal production for 1W7 Is ex pected to exceed BiriomjOOO tons, according a Ivan A. OH-en, editor of Iron Age. That would be the second best year In the history ot the bituminous coal Industry, and an lnrrease ot 78.000,000 tons over 1940. The editor of the Industry maga zine says a major factor In the In creased output Is a sharp rise In overseas shipments 43.000.000 tons. That would be a drop ot some four ier rent from the 1M8 total of 60, MiCOOO tons. Olven predicts that 1948 produc tion of bituminous coal, barring pro tracted work stoppages, will be good, erhaps as good as In 1947 H the weather returns to normal I't 1048, he says anthracite should benefit rrom a substantial Increase In demand.
