RESERVE INVADED.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a telegram re-

that 81 900, 900 has been withdrawn for
export from the su~b-treasury at New
York. Slight gains, however, were
made at Chicago and other points ag.
%gregating $l66, 900, so that the true
amount of the reserve at the close of
business was $98, 1918, 529.
The treasury officials maintain their
usual reticence on the subject, but there
is no doubt that they were somewhat
disappointed and surprised that the syn
dicate permitted the business to close
without making any deposit. From the
first the officials have confidently be-
lieved that 500, OO0, 900 was the lowest
point which the syndicate would permit
the reserve to reach, and hence their in
action at this time is not understood.
There is, however, no alarm
felt, as it is expected the syndicate will
come to the rescue on the first sign Of
u%neasiness on the part of the public.

Tribune from Uniontown, Pa, says
Indications point to a general strike
throughout the Connellsville coke
region next week or the week after.
The great boom in the iron market has
stimulated the coke trade and forced
the price Of coke up to $3.50 a ton, an
advance of rs cents a ton over the sell
ing price at the close of the great strike
year ago. Last spring the operators
granted an advance of 10 per cent to
avoid a threatened strike. Since that
time the price Of coke has been on the
Jump and the men now demand
Another Advance in Wages
commensurate with the advance in coke.
The operators are unwilling to accede
to their demands. For several months
the men have been secretly organized,
and a delegate convention was recently
held at Connellsville. All the works
were represented by 81 delegates, who
unanimously voted to demand 81 per
hundred bushels for mining and a gen
eral advance on all other kinds of labor
at II per cent, the advance to 70 into
effect next Monday. The delegates ia
vored a strike Sept. 16 if the advance is
not granted.
