wards brother. until he is 81. Mean
while he is under the authority of
the kaiser, who is anxious to make
capable man and q good German of
him.
To this end William IL, not long ago
prescribed for his young cousin a
course of military trimming similar to
that to which he has obliged his own
sons to undergo, allowing him. how
ever, TO live with his mother at Pots
dam. Now, however, the kaiser has
insisted that his pupil leave the ma
ternal roof altogether and come to
live in Berlin.
The grand dukes mother has from
the first been dead against the ruth
er severe regime prescribed for her
young hopeful. and she took revenge
by combating effectually the efforts
Of the pedagogues appointed by the
emperor to instill German ideas into
his head.
Anti-German tendencies on the part
of the duchess, who was born under
the double eagle, may seem rather
surprising. but as the wife OF the
duke of Albany 80 great q part OF
her life was spent In England that
her sympathies nre now almost en-
tirely English. However. no sooner
had she been aPprised by the dukes
tutors that their attempts to German
he him were being offset by his
mother than the mailed fat came
down with a thud and the young
man was summoned TO Berlin, where
his education could be overseen by his
imperial cousin.

PREDICTIONS are being made
| -> in many quarters as to the
| - length of the coal strike.
They vary widely. This is
natural. There is no precedent later
than - to guide and conditions now
are in few respects parallel 10 cond-
| tons then.
| 1t, however is true that long strikes.
| like long wars, are less probable now
| than in former years The interdepen-
| dence OF industry is greater. The ma
chinery for holding in check disorderly
tendencies is much superior We are
inclined to believe that the spirit of
thrift and of reluctance to tolerate the
great waste of :: prolonged strike on Il
large scale Is more potent today than
in the early period of labor strikes.
Under the new conditions surround
ing the anthracite industry those who
live in the vicinity of the mines know
the least about what is going on among
the powers that be. Consequently their
predictions have no more value than
those made at IL distance and fire.
quently have less. They are in the
trying position of helplessness to pro-
tect their own interests or to have a
guiding hand in the steering of the
ship which carries their welfare as
cargo.
But looking at the matter dispassion-
ately, as one would look at it from a
distance we should be inclined to pre-
nf ba I,r ti,,,,
OF the anthracite strike depends almost
wholly upon the ability of the strike
leaders to secure effective co-opera ton
among the btuminous workers. To do
that they must swing out of comfort
able employment 100000 men without
grievances as an auxiliary to the one
hundred and forty-odd thousand an
thracite workers now idle. Even waiv-
ing the breach of valid contracts which
this would, necesSitate. and considering
it merely as Il mass movement, its
success looks problematical, to say the
least.
Should it succeed, we do not doubt
that the miners union would soon
force the operators to terms. But
Snoulu IL ran, ana should SOFT coal come
in where anthracite belongs. cutting
both operator and striker out ofs his
future. it is incredible that the strike
would not break speedily.
1t is possible that the proposition of
a joint convention of soft and hard coal
miners to vote on the question of
complete tie-up may be held up before
the anthracite workers as an encour-
agemeLs not intended to materalize;
but we do not take such u view of the
organization leaders. Yet we are
frank TO confess that we never expect
to see Il complete suspension of coal
INNING IN TINS country-not. at least,
until the coal is exhausted or Gabriel
blows his trump.
