The shortage of coal Is felt already
in Honesdale, although without any
serious results thus far. The factories
are kept running by the use of the
culm taken from the filings of the
abandoned gravity works. This is
screened and made possible to burn.
Should the miners strike continue very
long the shops and factories will be
obliged to close down, as the supply of
culm is limited. The washery at HOad-
leys is still running, but far behind
their orders.
One week ago last Saturday, a man
past middle-age, of prepossessing ap-
pearance, engaged board at a Homes
dale private boarding house for him
self and two other men, who were to
arrive later, stating that they were to
engage in business that would keep
them in Honesdale for three months.
AS the new boarder's trunk had not
arrived, he said he could not attend
church, and remained in the house all
day Sunday. He requested the board
ing mistress to have breakfast ready
for him at o'clock on Monday morn
ing, as he wished to get at his business
early. After eating breakfast he took
his departure, informing the lady of
the house that he would return with
the other two men for dinner. The
lady prepared dinner and waited for
her new boarders. She is still waiting
for the nice gentleman and his COM
panions and his board bill, and Homes
dale does not gain the proposed new
industry.
