that morality and responsibility, the

coal since last Friday averages about
fifty cents "A ton, and with matters as
they are in the anthracite region, an
other rise in the price of soft coal may
be looked for. The soft coal men say
that even should the strike cease, they
will maintain the present prices, as the
demand for their product is sufficiently
large to enable them to get the rate
asked for.
A private message received by Vice
President ThOrne, of the Pennsylvania
company, stated that all was quiet at
the company's mine. Mr.. Thorne is

operators in their review of the strike
situation in the anthracite region to-

pected. An increased output is also
looked for in the Lehigh region to-
morrow"

ment tonight:

forts of the United Mine Workers they
