Railroad Men VIII Aid Strikers.

CHICAGO, May %. within the next

in their mines" said Col. w. p. Rcnd,
prominent coal merchant, yesterday.
This may mean riot and bloodshed,

President Mcbride of the Miners
union is attempting to create himself
director over the entire coal inter-
ests of this country. Next Wednes-
day at Columbus the Ohio operators
will meet again Possibly Mcbride

case an adjustment will be reached in
the near future. But in any event the
operators will take prompt and vigor-
GUS action and get their mines to work.
The coal situation, Col Rcnd says,
is exceedingly serious. There is a
shortage of coal everywhere, but he
does not agree with other men in the
trade as to the situation in Chicago
Coal is scarce, he says, but neverthe-
less he has been offered considera BILE.
