the legislature to take the county audi

GREAT THING ALL AROUND.

Coal Miners Strike Will Prove the Saliva.
tion of All Concerned, 1t Is Said.
New YORK, July 1.-THE concensus
of opinion among coal dealers in this
city and vicinity, is to the effect that
there is no danger of a coal famine here.
The yards Nnd docks are well supplied
with coal and the present stock is suf.
ficient to last for a long time. The
strike is ut present confined to the bi.
luminous coal regions, and the use Of
soft Goals is comparatively limited in
this city.
A director of one of the Ohio soft coal
roads said:
1--WE have evidence from the West
that ths soft coal strike is really going
to be the salvation Of the transportation
companies of that district, because it
will harmonize differences and ulti-
mately get the price of soft coal to a
point where there will be money in
hauling it as we'll as in mining it. 1t
may be called outrageous that soft coal
is selling in East St. Louis at 60 cents a
ton. 1t used to sell at So a ton. e At the
latter price there was money in hand
ling it for everyone concerned. At the
60 cent rate there is ruin. The railroads
are hauling it at less than mill a ton a
mile, which does not pay for simply the
wear and tear of rolling stock. Every.
one is glad that the strike is SO general
and has excited such widespread atten
ton from the public. This very fact
will pave the way to all easier and
larger advance in price of coal thar
could otherwise be attained"

IOWANS NAY GO OUT.

Miners IN the State May Join the Big
Eastern Strike.
DEs MONIES, July 14.-So far no Iowa
miners have joined the big strike, but
they are likely to do SO at any time.
There are 5000 miners in the state, and
until coal dealers commenced shipping
into Illinois to fill orders where Illinois
miners are striking, little attention was
paid to the strike, as the Iowa miners
are not well organized. Their sympa
thies are with the Eastern miners, how
ever, and at several meetings held in
the principal centers the opinion wa:
expressed that it is time to take action
to help the Eastern miners by cutting
off the coal shipped east.
