Henry Floersheim. of Findleyville,
Pa, the veteran coal operator, was in
the city yesterday on business, and
chatted for some time with Register
representative on business conditions
and the coal trade in particular. He
said, among other things:
''The river operators have generally
gone into big combine, but the rail-
dependent, land we would have big bus
mess were it not for the awful short
age of cars. Cars cannot be obtained
in sufficient numbers for love or mon
ey. The railroads are putting in new
ones as fast as possible-big fellows
with a capacity of 100000 pounds, but
they are difficult to handle at the mines,
where they have to be moved at the
tipples by hand. 1t is like moving
house. We are using all sorts of cars,
but can't get enough of any sort. The
lake trade is bowling for coal, and we
furnish transportation. The con-es-
ton in cars extends all through the
Pittsburg and Wheeling district. Ore,
coal, grain, lumber, glass, pottery, man
ufocturers of iron and steel, and every
other sort of product is being turned
out at an unprecedented rate and the
railroads simply cannot haul the stuff.
The roads are filled with freight trains
as a consequence, there is an increase
in the number of small accidents, dam
aging cars. which are run off to one
side and lie there indefinitely, for
pairs. That adds to the car famine.
Business, big as it is, would be vastly
increased if orders could be promptly
filed and shipped. AS it is, you give
an order. and no one can say when it
will be filled, nor when you can get 1t
when it is once on the cars. The de-
mand for labor is extraordinary, and
almost every available man is employ
ed, with a cry for more men. Many
factories in the Pittsburg district are
running all around the clock. and are
far behind at that.
THE river combine is going to make
it good for West Virginia coal, for
Pennsylvania operators bought out or
entering the combine are pledged not to
again operate in that State. That ex-
plains the rush for West Virginia coal
lands, and it is going to benefit this
State wonderfully in the near future.
These men have idle money, they
know the coal business and nothing
else they realize there are thousands
of square miles of good West Virginia
coal, even along the river, practically
untouched, and they will go for it.
There is still plen,y of coal in the
Pittsburg district, immense as the min
ing operations have been. When the
present vein is exhausted there is an
other below, which will be worked bye
and-bye 1t has already been examined
by shafting, and while not as thick as
the upper vein, it is good, and will come
into use. But it will take large capital
and machinery of the best sort. Our
coal, as everyb body will admit, is super
ior for gas making. but the West Vir
ginia coal is about as good for steam
ing 1t is strange to think that but
short time ago Western Pennsylvania
operators wer crying down West Vir-
ginia coal Now they are leasing large
tracts of it. The conditions are differ
ent, you see

forty-two Notre Dame houses existing in
America, with nearly thirty thousand chill

hundreds of thousands of pupils, socialists,
and others have come under the influence
of the houses in this country. The Sisters
who will teach in the new college will be
selected from the most learned graduate

The project under the auspices of the

dorsed and encouraged by Catholic prelates
