MAY RUIN MANY MINES

manning 10 per cent of the collieries. All would
be more or less damaged The losses will fall
upon the miners fully much upon the oper-
ators. for the suspension of the pumps Tor TWO
weeks will mean millions lost in wages, and
thousands of will find themselves per-
manently out of employment
To illustrate what vast quantity of water
is pumped from many of the mines daily. L
might point to the Mount Lookout colliery,
where pump lifts two million gallons every
twenty-four hours. In many mines thirty-hve
hundred gallons of water disposed of each
minute in the day This will give some idea OF
what the accumulation in two weeks would De
I cannot believe that the operators Will, under
any circumstances, allow the pumps TO lie idle
for even short time: but. as have said. II
suspension should continue for fourteen days. II
would cause the greatest loss that any industry
has ever suffered at one time from one cause,
and in many instances the destruction would
be as complete as though the mines were fired
and burned from the bottom vein 70 the surface.
The first official count of the number Of men
who have left the region in the two weeks since
the strike began was completed tonight by
Vice-President Ruscavage of this district and
he saws the number is more than twenty-five
thousand. He expects that fully thirty thousand
will leave the district in the next two weeks.
OF those already gone. most went to the soft
coal fields of Ohio. Illinois. Michigan, Califor-
MIA and Colorado. and about two thousand TO
the Old Country. Mr.. Ruscavage said;
If we do not win this strike we will withdraw
every mine worker from this region and leave II
desolate taking first the men most in need of
work. and then those who can afford to stay pc
hind until places can be found for them
There was also rumor tonight that caused
much excitement among the strikers. 1t is that

dered to be in readiness TO take the field on

FOUND AFTER LONG SEARCH.
THE GOVERNMENT. POLICE AND MEN
OF MANY COUNTRIES PRESSED
INTO THE HUNT

Walter Bolger. eighteen years old the son OF
Paul S. Boger of Yonkers, who ran away on
November 10 last has been found by his father
the training ship Franklin Norfolk after
a most minute and unremltting search. Yester-
day his mother had a short talk with him over
the long distance telephone, and he is expected
home with his father. who is In Washington
with his son. Saturday.
Considerable money was spent in the search
for the young man. and letters were sent to
all parts of the world. Mrs. Bolger said last
night that one day her husband had bought
$500 worth of stamps The heads Of the govern
ment departments in Washington were asked TO
help in the search. and prominent men all over
the world, among them being Lord Kitchener,
the Boer representatives and General Chafee.
From ALL Mrs. Boger says, kind and encourag-
ing replies received. The last OF the United
States consuls to whom letter was sent was
Mr.. Prentiss who perished at st. Pierre In the
eruption of Mont Pelee. He answered only
few days before his death.
Many impostors wrote to Mr.. Bolger, hoping
to receive the 5000 reward he had offered Tor
news of his son, and the mail ne received at
his office enormous. The young man was
found through information received from a SOL
der whom Mr. BOger met in the Grand Cen
trail Station. The soldier told Mr. BolEer that
every mark on the body of any man who en-
listed in the army navy was recorded at
Washington. Mr.. Bolger and James B. Ludlow.
a neighbOr. went to Washington last week and
began examination of the signatures OF thoSe
who had enlisted since last November. In their
task they received much help from Henry Cary
Sanger Assistant Secretary of War
The young mans writing was recognized IN
one of the signatures. The name given was
that of of Mr.. Bolgers customers whose
name the son had often copied when clerk
in his fathers office. An examination OF the de-
scrption of the man then made the identifca-
ton complete scar the shoulder and an
other on the head being found.

H L. HERBERT. OF WEST VIRGINIA. TALKS
ON THE STRIKE-ANOTHER RISE
IN SOFT COAL.

President George F. Baer. of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company, was in this
city yesterday, and spent some time in the office
of the Central Railroad Of New-Jersey. which
he visits weekly 1t was stated at the office of
the Jersey Central that he had formal con-
ference with the other presidents of the coal
carrying roads. 1t is understood. however. that
some Of them saw him. and had an informal
talk the situation.
The operators say that there is no foundation
for the reports that they are willing to submit
their books to a committee appointed by the
Civic Federation or any other body to show
that they cannot grant the advance in wages
demanded by the strikers. They say that the
strike end only by the men returning to
work Operators generally expressed the belief
yesterday that the bitumnous miners will not
go on a general strike H L. Herbert, of Her
bert & Co., owners of the Metamora bituminous
mines, in West Virginia. and of several anthra-
cite collieries said:
1t would be safe to take a bet against a gen
eral strike of the btuminous miners. There will
probai y be some small strikes, there are
small strikes all the time, but from adVlces we
have received from the mines We learn that the
/ bituminous miners are against a strike. They
know when they well enough off, and VIII
let well enough alone. / knew the anthracite
miners would strike long before there any
general idea that they would strike. The situa-
tion will never change far as the opera tors
are concerned, and the strike will probably last
three months. Eventually there Will be violence
and the militia will probably be called out
Then the forces of the strikers will gradually
disntegrate."
Dealers who were seen yesterday said that the
demand for soft coal increasing. This led
TO another advance in soft coal from 81 to ~ 20
and 81 40 by retail and from SO 30 to 81 % by
Wholesale the retail prices being based on last
weeks wholesale rates. No advance took place
