There are more than 300, 1000 men en-
ployed In bituminous coal mining. most
OF whom are now on strike. They earn
usually 100000, 900, which Is 6S per
cent Of the value OF the coal at the mines.
The mining companies have not been
making any money lately, because 90
many mills and facories were closed that
il has restricted the market Tor coal.
The reduction OF miners wages was q
shrewd move on the part Of the com.
panies. The managers expected fhst
il would produce strike. This was just
what they wanted, in order to lesson
produc ction Of coal and clear of surplus
stocks. As soon az this 10 done the
strike will end, and everybody will pay
q little higher price for coal than he
would II competition continued without

pAp~r, has this TO say ON the snbj ct:
"Indis, Ceylon, South Africa and Latin
America have not, during the pre.en,

production and imports alton, and, except.
ing the lack Of equilibrium In their bud.
gets, they have rather gained than los,
by the depreciation Of silver. The
situation Of the gold countries rs not a.
all advantageous. The decrease oi their
commerce Causes unevenness of ihe,r
budgets. Their products have to face
the composition from silver countries,
which forces them to limit their pro
duction, and even 10 close some OF their
factories altogether. Foreign debtors
make difficulties. retard payment. or
suspend them altogether, and the thou.
sands OF millions which silver countries
owe 70 nations with q gold standard
threaten TO end in smoke, in the face Of .
general bankruptcy. II 10 not, there
lore, surprising that the governments
Of silver countries and the creditors
and producers in gold countries agitate
Tor bimetsiiisn. The governments Of
silver countries have an easy way Of
escsPe-bankruptcy. Italy has Just re-
duced the interest on her debt, and
Guatemala has suspended the payments
of hers. Arguments about honor are Of
no avail In the face OF this threatening
situation. The only countries who dare
not fsil to meet their obligations are
those that are threatened with = foreign
war, because snch = war 10 geseslly car
ried on with capital derived from for
eign loans India, China and Latin
America are threatened with war, and
no one will be surprised il they reduce
or suspend payment; hut such = suspen-
sion would cause great harm to the gold
countries who are the creditors Of silver
countries. II payments are suspended
the governments will recover their re-
pose, and they can then concentrate
their efforts to relieve the situation by
ASST sting exports. and thus the silver
countries will continue to be dangerous
competitors TO the nations with a gold
standard. II is astonishing that Eng.
land will not see this. A gold standard

exports OF silver countries. England,
the champion Of free trade. will not be
able to persist much longer in conduct
which robs her people to enrich strsn.
