There seems TO be an erroneous iripres-
gagged somewhere or other in the coal

The reasons are strong why Mr.. Hanna
should feel called upon TO responl favor
in the matter. he disclaiIus any interest
as Far as he is personally concerned WHAT
little stake he has In the mining business
IL in the hands OF competent men, and he
does rot wish TO interfere with his com
petent men. II has been whispered that
these competent men received a tip re
garding tie strike long enough ia advance
TO lay In big stock Of coal. If this is
true il would he highly improper to inter.
reIe with them until that accumulation
has been disposed of at the desirable
prices now current and which would col
lapse If the strike We're settled.

Reasonably, it may be feared that a

will not easily depart from bis customary
methods. He may be impressed with the
gravity and the opportunity of the situa-

fear that ne is much more likely to tell
