Coffee Plantation. Damaged.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE recent
earthquakes in Guatemala visited with
awful consequences the prosperous coffee
plantations of the republic, according TO a
report made public at the State Depart
ment to-day from United States Consul
General McNally at Guatemala City. dated
May 9. While the coffee trees themselves
suffered little damage, he says dwellings,
storehouses and coffee machinery on nearly
all the estates were more or less seriously
injured. The consul general says the coffee
crop will not be one-half what was looked
for before the visitation. Moreover, he
points out, there is poor prospect Tor re-
pairing the damage on the coffee planta-
tons, the surplus labor of the republic
has been pressed into service clearing away
the debris in the ruined cities and towns.
To escape compulsory service in the devas-
tated cities, il is said many laborers are
crossing over into Salvador and Mexico.

of our case than the operators statement
makes for u.s.
With reference TO the soft coal strike in
West Virginia, the national labor leader
had this to say: AT present there are
$500 mine workers on strike in the West
Virginia fields. Reports from Virginia,
where there are $500 mine workers are
incomplete, and I. therefore, cannot say
anything as TO the situation in that State.
l think We will win that strike too. The
suspension in West Virginia will cut off a
large amount Of soft coal that is shipped
to the Atlantic seaboard, but there is no
connection between the anthracite strike
here and the bituminous suspension there.
