NO coAL FAMINE IN LONDON.

Other Parts of England, However, Tell
the Effects OF ihe Miners strike.
LONDON, March 17.-Seyeral leading
merchants have informed a representa-
tive Of the United Press that London
has an ample supply of coal and that
the quantity now on hand is sufficient
to last for weeks, They have no fear of
a panic. This supply has not come,
however, from English coal mines,
alone. English buyers have flooded the
coal markets of Belgium and Germany
with orders, which are being filed as
rapidly as possible.
The output in South Wales has been
increased, and the miners of that region
have'been encouraged to make a spurt
The very panic which caused the Lon
doners to be laughed at by the rest of
England few weeks ago, is the reason
that London is not likely to see a coal
famine. The panic melted the dealers
to take action in time, and the conse-
quence is that coal is pouring into
London from the continent just when
serious scarcity was expected to be felt
A great deal of the coal on sale is.
however, of a poor quality. Owners of
the mines are seizing the opportunity
to get rid of the large quantities of
slack and other inferior stuff which has
been accommodating for long time in
their yards. Even this material brings
very high prices.
The distress is most acute in the re-
gions north of the Tyne, where the iron
masters are being compelled to close for
lack of coal that used to be almost at
their gates. The immense works of the
Great Western Railway company, at
Swindon, Wiltshire, are supplied from
South Wales and continue witasut stor-
page, while the still greater railway
shops at Crew are in danger of complete
shut down. and are already partly
closed.
The iron masters of the north are in
such a crippled d condition that many of
the employees despair of the future, and
are selling their goods with a view to
emigrating to the United States.
The reason given by the Scottish
miners for not stopping work is that the
miners wages have been reduced in
sLanarkshire although the wages have
been high ompared with the price of
coal. 1t is stated that the masters will
not reduce the wages. Meantime the
Scottish mine-owners are reaping big
profit on their sales to England.
