ANTHRACITE'S SCARCITY
STRIKERS THINK CRISIS WILL
COME WITHIN TWO WEEKS
Believe the Operators Will Weaken
When the Stock of Coal on Hand Is
Completely Exhausted - Shipments
Are Already 100000 Tons Short
of Last Year.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 90
Mine Workers officials believe the ac-
tual crisis in the anthracite coal strike
will come within the next two weeks.
While the contest has been waged
with all the vigor possible on both
sides, the operators so far have had
the advantage in so far that their
product has been on the market all the
time.
The real strength Of the operators
will come when the supply of hard
coal on the market is completely ex-
hausted. This situation promises to
develop, it is thought, within two
weeks at the outside and probably
within a very few days. The ship
ments of coal from the anthracite field
are already over 100000 tons short
of last year. With the exception OF
100000 tons shipped in May not a ton
Of hard coal has been hauled from the
mines since May 1. The shipments
for May, June and July last year
amounted to 13,129,269 tons, making a
shortage for this year Of II, ,129,269 tons.
A shortage existed in the anthracite
market even before the strike was in
augurated, and with the shipments cut
off absolutely by the tieup the supply
on hand has practically been exhaust
ed. With the constant demand for
hard coal few days at the most it is
estimated will leave the Eastern mar
ket absolutely barren.
This will mean the true test Of the
unity of the operators, it is thought.
Whether they will be able to resist
the demand that will be made on them
from manufacturers and the public
generally is the question Will not some
operators weaken when they see soft
coal being shipped in to supply a big
part of their market? This question
must be answered, mine workers Of
ficials say.
Secretary Wilson said today that
this test cannot be far off, as he de-
clared the supply of hard coal must
be nearly used up.
According to our figures, there can
be but very little hard coal available
now, and it is only a question of a
few days at the utmost until the mar
ket will be completely exhausted" he
said. AS to the probable outcome Of
the test, Mr.. Wilson declined to talk
further than to say he is confident the
men will win.

The "Sperrgeld' Victimizes Flat
DWellers and Acts Like a Curfew.
If English towns like Vienna paid
tribute to walk abroad after nightfall
the reign of the janitor would be
short. Vienna has form of personal
impost duty unduplicated in any
other city in the world. It is the
"sperrgeld" or dooropening tax. In
credible as it may seem, the entire
population of Vienna, numbering up
ward of 100000. are imprisoned in
their own homes between the hours of
10 p. m. and a, m. They can only
| obtain access to or egress from
their houses by paying at least two
pence to the janitor or house master"
as the Viennese style him. Vienna is
| built on the fiat system. Miiliouaires
and working classes alike live in
dwellings of this kind, AS rule the
fiat houses have five or six floors. with
four flats on each floor. Thus 1t is
not unusual to find 100 persons living
under one roof.
For all these flats there is one com
mon entrance frcm the street. and
after 10 p, m. this door is bolted and
barred Persons passing in or out
| after 10 p. III. must pay twopencc until
midnight and fourpence Is cents) from
| that hour until 6 a. m. This exasper-
ating impost must be paid every time
one passes through the doorway. with
out exception. In thousand and one
ways the system makes itself UNI
pleasant in the extreme. II a man
| dozen times after 10 p m. II costs him
shilling (25 cents) If you dine with
friend and stay after the hour for
closing YOU must pay twopence a
cents TO get out of his house and
twopence more to get into your own.
II you receive a telegram during the
night 1t costs twopenee for the tele-
pragh boy to enter, If you go out to
post letter 1t costs twopence to
reach the open air and the same

i think I'd keep the dog, because Ii
woilla be easier to duplicate the
wife"
The hardy men aren't always kind
TO the dogs; they don't feed them any
too well, and they very often give
them a lash or a kick; but, notwith-
standing this seeming cruelty, a dog
will do more for his master than one
man will for another. He will cud-
die up to him when the weather is
tempestuous. will dive into the water
to save him. and will stand guard for
hours and days over a hole which
swallowed him.
A dog which has been trained on
the ice can find it's way shoreward in
almost any storm, but when dread
ful time comes it invariably happens
that the fisherman himself has to di-
rect things.
The dog will 90 the best he can, .
said a fisherman, but when he has
lost his way and gets among hum
mocks and paths that are new to him
he gives up. He joys along slowly,
as a rule, then slows up looks
around and into the face of his mas
ter. He waits then to be kicked cod
died or straightend out, as the case
may be The usually accepted theory
that the dog can find shore when a
man cannot is not entirely true. A
trained dog can do it better than an
unframed fisherman, but a man who
has spent years on the ice can give
the dog cards and spades and beat
him. My dogs draw me ashore from

We come down like an express train,

Many people think that whisky

the investigation were continued until
1t had included every man on the ice,
1t would reveal not more than a
dozen. Precedent has shown to the
fishermen that. in cases of exposure

who drink TO get warm are the FIRST
