New York, Aug. e.-The Herald today

New York, Aug. 6-The Herald today
says:
is New York and vicinity facing a
coal crisis or is ii at the mercy of the
coal tfust." is the question before the
people of this city. No matter how
coal is just double the price of "a year
ago and the outlook is that it will go
stii higher The price has now adj
vallced TO $40 Il ton for anthracite and
the end Is; not yet.
TO a layman it looks rs if the coal
trust taking advantage of the strike In
the hard coal regions, has SO fnanipu-
ket that today there is barely coal
enough in tho city fer the daily con-
sumption, and the trust, SO it is as
serted. ALLOWS just enough in each day
to not quite supply the demand and
thereby gently forces the price up day
by day.
There are many now in the city who
believe that the strike NOW in progress
N the anthracite regions WAS brought
about BY the coal barons to force the
price up for next winter; that when the
men go back TO work their wages will
not be increased materially, while the
cost of coal TO the consumer will be
advanced 50 or 81 or possibly So ton.
Hard to Explain.
There are n.ttnT Thugs in connection
with the Coal strike w4.ich it is hard
to explain, especially regarding the
presence of coal in the New York mar
lset. When the strike Was first under
way couple of months ago, a careful
Investigation developed the fact that
there WAS hardly coal cnoggn in the To-
cal market and yaIos 10 supply the
needs for thirty days. N.otwitastand-
Ing that this was thirty days ago, the
supply has not given out altogether,
but dribbied in day ~ day and it is
said that the 1. ust is carefully supply
ing New FORK and forcing the price
up Wcii-to-do people al" giu.nbling
ana looking al end WITH dread to the
winter and the increased bills for coal
which they viii surely have, but their
complaints will be nothing and their
sufferimgs will lee nothing compared to
very poor OF the city. 1T will mean to
the Very poor that they will have to
pay $50 4 ton for coal ii it $40 to the
ordinary consumer The e9al is sold to
the Very poor by "hawkeis,' who go
about the city in the winter with coal
and in summer with iie, which is sold
in very small qantitscs IT about double
the price paid 10 consumers who buy
from yards by he ton weight.
1t is said that While tine Coal trust
is folti'g up the price of anthracite
coal in New York that there is some
thing like .200,G00 toss OF coal stored
in yards within days haul of New

BETTER PAY FOR WESTERN EDU.
GATORS.

The action of the University of Wyo-
ming. in raising the salaries paid its
instructors and their assistants. must
be followed by other western educa-
tional institutions in a short time.
The complaint has often been made
that western universities and colleges
have grown to be training schools for
the larger institutions in the east.
Outside OF three Or our OF the larger
universities this side Of Chicago. the
salaries paid to professors are small,
and. In consequence, as soon as a man
gets a reputation he is invited to a
more lucrative position in an older and
better established institution. AS a
general thing this inducement is suf,
fcient to cause the instructor to leave,
and in this way many a western uni,
versity has lost representative men,
There have been some refusals OF such
offers, but university professors are
like other men in hat they appreci,
ate the increased financial rewards
that come with increased honor in
their field Of work, and acceptances
are the rule.
At it's best the average university
has little to offer a mar Of attachments,
speaking from the standpoint OF
money. This is shown by the fact thai
the University of Nebraska only recent,
ly increased DR.. f. Benjamin Andrews
salary from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
But there has been some improvement
in this regard among eastern universe
ties, where professors are now getting
higher salaries than they drew ten
years ago.
The general increase at the Univer
sity of Wyoming shows that the west
ern institutions must recognize this
tendency, and must prepare to pay
better salaries all round il they intend
to hold their best men. Evidently there
must be less ambitious efforts toward
securing endowments for new build
ings, etc, and more attention given to
