on the April Balance.

Washington special: A loss OF
nearly $40, 900, 900 is expected in the
general balance Of the treasury for
the month Of April. Five million
dollars of this will be due to the pay
ment of interest on the 1 per cent.

current expenditures over receipts.
The loss thus far, without including
interest. has been s. ,4I9.03l. the total
receipts having been SD, l42,96S, and
the expenditures l7,629.0 DOC. The
customs receipts still lag behind and
do not seem likely to exceed $l0.0Oo,-

enue receipts have already reached
So, 936, Az and will be nearly $4,000
900 for the month. The pension eXpen-
ditures thus far have been $,,925,00O

tire month of April. The expenditures

tween 1924. 900, 900 and 1925. 900, 600.
The treasury gained about S2S, 900 in
gold and no fear is felt for the go.i re-

no permanent advance and the excess

by the New York banks. The gen

From One to Two Hundred Thou
sand Men Will Quit Work.

pittsburg. Pa. special: At noon the
GREAT coke strike will be ~inaugurated.
Opinions differ a, to the number Of
men who will be engaged III it, but tel
cgraphic reports indicate that the
number will be between 100000 and
POO, 600 men. The strike will be con-
fined to the bituminious coal region OF
the United States. Manufacturers,
and foundry owners are greatly
alarmed and do not credit the as-ur-
anccs from the operators that the
strike will be of short duration. and
therefore they are securing all the
coal they can. While the anthracite
dirgers will not be called out at pres
cnt, it i. announced that in case hard
coal is used to raise steam where D-
luminous fuel is o employed, that
region will be rendered imperative by
a strike. There are about 10000 min
ers employed by the four companies
which control the anthracite region.
To those on the inside Of the %0rganiza-

Der of ballots were required to reach

that merely nominal damages would

Washington special: The coming

Consul General Mason at Frankfort.
Germany. He shows that the Ger
mans, as the result OF exhaustive ex.
periments, have determided that the
gas motor is the cheapest and best Of
all means of power propulsion. The
report tells of the great expense of
the cable in construction, the noise
and danger of the trolley and of the
high operating cost and unreliability
of the underground electric system,
and then coming back to the gas motor
he describes experiments that have
been made with it in Europe. Prac-
tical trials have been made at
Neuchatel, Switzerland, and at Dres-
den, and the results in both cases,
while perhaps not wholly conclusive,
have been so favorable as to be
worthy OF examination. The Neuch-
atel cars cost s., $50 each, pass lO0-foot
| curves, run backward OR forward with
seven-horse power, traverse any part
| of the line. which is forty feet higher
at the midway pointthan at the ends, at
a speed OF seven and IA half miles an
hour.
The cost of operating by gas il
found to be p per cent. cheaper than
by electricity and the cost of enuip.
ment is also much cheaper.
