Once such an agreement by the pow

the powers can not shirk without ap-

DOLLAR RAISE IN COAL PRICE.
Increase in Cost TO $3.50 Ton II


New York.
& New York. Sept. 1S.-Coal jumped to
$3.50 ton in New York yesterday. How
much higher it will go no operator or
dealer was willing to venture a predic-s
ton. Everything now depends on the
duration Of the strike.
The present price of $3.50 for red ash
coal represents an advance of 81 since
last Friday.
This applies TO coal for houshold use,
Of which 1t is said that a supply vari-
ously estimated at sufficient to last
from ten days to three weeks is on
hand. OF steam coal there is already a
famine, the supply in the vicinity of
New York being practically exhausted.
Pea coal. selling week ago at s1.50 a

and other small sizes, such as buck
wheat No. 1 and ., rose in proportion.

The most intelligent and disinterested
information concerning the condition of
affairs among the miners that I have
been able to gain has come from Cath
olic priests, who have been deeply con-
cerned in the preparations for this
strike because OF their aolicitude for the
members of their congregat ations.
Eighty per cent OF the miners are
Catholics. Many OF the Poles belong to
the Greek church. The Welsh are Prot
estants. Every priest in the anthracite
region opposed the strike because they
believed 1t was unwise and foresaw In
calculable suffering and distress for the
miners families. who they knew were
unprepared for IL, but now that the men

are with them, and they will do every
thing they can to assist them in accom-
