PRODUCTION OF COAL REPORTED ON INCREASE.

Production of coal in the Indiana fields is rapidly increasing, according to reports. The north field, in the vicinity of Terre Haute, on Tuesday, the latest figures available, while the south field, comprising the Green and Sullivan counties' mines, produced 24,054 tons* making a total of 58,279 tons. Practically all mines are at work, with the exception of two in the Clinton field, where the men refuse to accept the terms of the agreement which ended the nation-wide strike. The men at the Fayette mine, who refused to work Wednesday because their working clothes had not been properly dried, returned to work yesterday.
