throwing the middlemen out of work.
WHAT A LUMBERMAN SAYS.
A prominent lumberman said to-day:
This will be the saving OF our business.
Heretofore the supply cut has been more
than the demand. Four hundred million
feet of lumber are cut annually, giving
employment to 10000 hands. In the future
the mills will shut down when the supply is
too large, the central committee to decide
which mills are to shut down and at what
loss. The other mills will be assessed pro
rata, according to their size, to make Up the
loss The central Office will probably be

LONDON, April 4.-The effects Of the
strike of the coal miners Ia Durham threaten
to be more deplorable than was anticipated
by any one who has examined into the
trouble. The stocks OF fuel in the large fac-

that in a few weeks a number OF heavy
failures will be announced. There has never
been 50 grave q crisis In the history OF the
trade and industry in the north
of England. All berths on the
Tyne are occupied by vessels made idle
by the strike, and firms with European
reputation are In jeopardy. Huge coal
yards, formerly the scene Of the busiest ao-
tlvity and on which entire communities de-
pended for their existence, are now idle.
The strike has already done more harm
than any modern strike and Its effects be-
come worse daily.

day adopted, with aoclamation. a decision
