THE SITUATION.
AbOu, l75. 900 Miners Idle and u. 900
at Work.
Vast business Interests In Many states Are
Seriously Crippled within Week
the Stock of Bltuminous Coal
Win Likely Be Gone.

New York, May 2s,-The Sun Mon
day morning lead several columns Of
special dispatches from all the states
troubled by the miners strike with this
introduction:
"1he great bituminous coal strike
which began ON April 81 has reached
that stage where vast business inter
ests in many states are crippled seri-
ously. Fully l75,OOO miners are idle in
fourteen states and two territories.
About 1900 miners are at work.
Not only have the miners begun to
suffer privation, provoking them to
riot in several states, chiefly Illinois,
Pennsylvania and Alabama, but rail
roads, mills and even Office buildings,
have been so affected that thousands
Of other men are without work, and
the business world, especially in the
central west, sees before il an imme-
diate struggle for existence. Within
week the stock Of bituminous coal on
hand will probably be exhausted.
1T is doubtful IL this country ever
experienced so large and 80 important
u strike. II not settled soon its effects
must be far reaching. as the Suns dis
patches Sunday morning show. AL.
ready the earnings Of the railroads,
notably in Pennsylvania, have been re-
duced most seriously, and soon the car
rying capacity Of the roads win be i'm
paired. The miners will not yield, they
say, until uniform rate of seventy
five cents ton is established through
out the country. Many, and perhaps d
majority Of the operators, were willing
10 give this, but they have not been
able 20 come 70 such an agreement, and
another conference Is TO be held in
Springfield, Ill, Monday. Little is ex
pected from IL.
Violence in Illinois and Alabama
has been Of such n character that state
troops have been ordered out. and are
in active service. Gov. Pattison, Of
Pennsylvania, has addressed the mass
meeting at one place and cautioned
them against violence. so that he will
not feel II necessary TO order out the
troops. The spirit OF riot seems to be
abating, but fear of serious trouble ha,
not yet been dissipated."

Theatrical Business in the East.


For some reason managers are inclined to
look with misgvings upon the outcome OF next
season. One OF their number, In an Interview
In Washington paper last week, said:
1.-The outlook is extremely bad. Some OF the
most widely known as well as most popular OF
the travelling combinations are already cancel
ing the dates for next year which they had
made with houses on the various circuits, ana
the impression prevails In New YORK tnat those
companies which do go out next year Will
have even more disastrous experience than
they had during the season when mas JUST
closed.
1.-THE manager OF travelling theatrical COM
pany has better opportunity TO fealZe Inc
financial condition OF communities than almost
any other individual. The bOx-0f1ce receipts
are unfailing barometefs Of the state OF the pub

During the last weeks OF the past season
they indicated that The money OF the amnse-
meut-loving people had dwindled TO smaller

tend to explain why such unlVersal depression
exists, but old managers have repeatedly told
me that In past financial panics there has never
been oue-haftbe stringency among the classes

vailed for the past year. ana wnich promises 10

Managers are waiting until the scramble 1or

they confidently expect 10 fill their companes

In late number OF the New York Herald: at
is astonishing the number OF agencies that
have sprung up in This city in the last few
years. The business must. indeed, be profit
able. They absolutely force members of the
profession to patroDiZe them. It Is often COM
