The industry as defined by the Bureau is strictly comparable with the Pennsy1vania anthracite industry as defined b; the Census of Mineral Industries, 1939. Semi-anthracite or anthracite produced outside of Pennsylvania is included with bituminous coal in the States where mined. The indexes and estimates cover only wage earners of producing companies. Indexes previously published on a 1929 base were adjusted to the Census of ilines data for 1935. Adjustments have been made in the following indexes to the Census of Mineral Industries for 1939 arid have been rebased; using the 1939 average as 100 .
