TO PREVENT A COAL STRIKE.
Pennsylvania CIerEymen Advise the
Miners AGAINST It.

Miners Against IL.
WILKESBARRE. Pa. Jan. 23.-The con
seryative element IN this section Of the
anthracite region is using every effort to
prevent the threatening big strike.
The clergy are crying out against it, be-
cause they say it means poverty for the
strikers. Business men are apprehensive
FOR the future and are doing their best TO
bring peace before it is too late.
Rev F. c. Curran, pastor Of Holy Sa-
vIour Church, whose congregation is com
posed mostly OF miners. has taken a de-
cided stand In an address to his cOngre-
gatiCn. he said: "Apropos OF the general
strike now threatened throughout the an
thracite coal fields Of this State | would
respectfully call your attention to some
timely advice which l consider a duty 20
impart. II is 10 be very much regretted
that on the rising tide of universal pros
perity in our great country there should
exist even the semblance Of an occasion
for the widespread strike which seems now
right at our doors.
Strikes are seldom necessary. and al
ways detrimental There may. and often
do exist grievances between employer and
employe, which call for an immediate re-
dress But such redress is not to be found
in the banefu strike"
Charles F. Thaen. Secretary OF the Nine
Workers Union OF this district says that
there will surely be a big lockout unless
the operators consent TO meet the men in
a conference.

to keep up low rates for settlers while the

Great Northern IS entitled TO its share of

otherwise. Representatives Of other roads

WRAPPING PAPER HIGHER.
Butcher and Manila Have Doubled In
Price Since June.


The price Of butcher and manila paper
NJ. > has advanced IS per ton, - take ef-
feet at once
\ paper dealer said today that these
two qualities Of paper. both of which are
low grades and used for wrapping pur-
poses. have been steadily advancing ever
since last June. The price then ranged
from $50 to S35 a ton, while butcher paper
now sells for 500 and No. manila paper
about $40 a ton. The cause of this in
crease is attributed by most dealers to
the great demand for paper and the scare
ity Of the raw material.
The trust has nothing to do with it,
said dealer for most Of the mills which
manufacture butcher paper and other low
grades are not in the trust.
Another cause is the long-cOntinued
drought in the mills in New England and
western New York, which has not given
the mills a chance to work to their full
capacity. The increase in the price Of la
Dor. as well as Of the various chemicals
used to manufacture paper, are also con-
sidered accessory in raising the price
Moreover" said-the dealer, while this
new increase is to be noted, yet the retail
consumers. such as butchers and store
keepers, will scarcely notice It.
