THE COAL STRIKE ORDER.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 14.-JoAn
Mitchell, President, and W. B. Wilson,
Secretary Treasurer, of the United Mine
Workers Association of America, today,
say they are highly pleased with the
manner in which the general anthracite
coal strike order has been received by
the public. Mitchell says he regrets
deeply that politicians are undertaking
to make capital out of the strike.
II had hoped" said he, 'that there
would be no political significance at
tached to so serious a matter as this
great strike, involving, as it does, the
very living of 143, COO wage earners who
have felt the merciless foot of capital
for two decades
FEAn EXTENSION OF STRIKE.
Philadelphia Pa, September 14.-Now
that the coal market is face to
face with strike in the upper anthracite
regions, the answer to the question as to
whether the miners in the Schuylkill dis
trict will strike sympathetieally is anXi-
ously awaited. Should the trouble not ex-
tend to the Schuylkill mines no grave coal
famine is to be feared, though the col
lieries there could. of course. not fully
meet the normal demand. While there
was no change in the circular prices for
coal at wholesale at the mines today the
indications were strong that an increase
is to be expected in the next few days,
Some retail dealers took advantage of the
brisk demand and obtained as high as
fifty cents ton advance on coal for i'm
mediate delivery. At the Reading offices
it was stated that they are accepting or
ders at the circular price, and that no
advance has as yet been asked.
