Much relief is felt throughout the
State on account of the probable resump-
ton Of the operation in the coal mines
and In the expectation Of securing sup
ply of coal in the near future. Some
inconvenience has been experienced
among manufacturing concerns because
OF the coal shortage but the difficulty
has been In anticipation rather than ac-
tual hardship. In some sections owners
of wood have taken advantage of the
situation and are reported to have ask
ed stiff prices. Manufacturing conditions
are nearly all favorable. The leading in
dustries are we'll employed and labor is

vicinity continue to be rushed with orders
and the large scale works are very busy.

in manufacturing and in retail trade are
doing fairly well.
St. Adams reports manufacturing bus
mess active. retail trade and collections
fair Weather and lack of coal are the
un.avorable features.
Poultney reports slate business good, al
though some trouble is experienced In
getting coal for quarry purposes. The
demand for slate is unusually good.
The large scale works at St Johns
bury are constantly increasing its force;
other concerns are doing the usual
amount of business. Retail trade and
collections generally good
BrattlebOro reports manufacturing In
terests we'll employed, retail trade and
collections good.

and mine workers in the anthracite region
and was as follows:
You are hereby officially notified that
it was unanimously decided to-day by the
delegates attending the convention that
all mine workers should report for work
Thursday morning, October %, and that
the issues which eliminated in the strike
should be referred for adjustment to the
commission appointed by the President
of the United States.
eve are authorized by the executive Of
GERS of district /, and 8 to caution all
those who resume work to exercise more
than usual care In order that accidents to
life and limb may be averted. Owing to
the condition of the mines after an idle
ness of five months there will be great
danger when work is resumed. We are
prompted to offer this advice by the fact
that at the close of the strike two years
ago many more accidents and deaths oc-
CURED than take place when the mines
are operating regularly.
