Scranton. Pa. (Special) There is
every indication that fuel famine is i'm
minent-a situation appalling in its posi-
biities.
An exhaustive study OF the situation
in the anthracite regions shows that prac
tically no hard coal is being mined. Soft
coal rates are being steadily advanced.
and it is predicted that the price will go
to SIC ton. Cord wood has gone up.
With the approach of normally cold
weather popular clamor for fuel must
soon reach proportions that neither the
anthracite coal operators nor the striking
mine workers can longer ignore. Every
house holder, every business man. manu-
facturer and merchant must shortly de-
mand coal. 1t must be had. somehow.
somewhere or direct catastrophe will fol-
low.
Neither disputant in the hard coal
region will yield. and public patience is
bound to be exhausted ere long. A sug-
gestion has been made by some of the
operators that the law preventing any
rniner cutting coal in Pennsylvania un-
less he holds certificate stating that he
has worked two years in the mines be
repealed at a special session of the Legis-
lature. II this were done President Fow-
Ter. of the New York, Ontario and West
crn railroad, says the operators would
be able to put many men at work Hard
coal mining is not so hazardous as bit
luminous mining, and men could learn all
but the most expert phases OF cutting
coal and shoveling up in month or
six weeks.
Another operator denies that this
would solve the problem of breaking ihe
strike
The operators will not listen to-
tration: the mine workers, while willing
to arbitrate, declare they can remain idle
indefinitely; both sides are opposed to
compulsory arbitration through legisla-
tive enactment.

Chief Justice Frear stated this morn.

October the Supreme Court had decid'
ed more cases than had been usual in
a whole year under inc previous quar-

rangement works a great Improvement
in the dispatch of business. With
more frequent sessions there Is not
such a plethora of litigation accumu'
lated at one time as when reCesses be-
tween terms extended over two
months four times in the year.
An advantage independent of the
system has been experienced by the
present Supreme Court, from the con
slant presence OF all three Justices
since short time after their appoint.
ment. 1t is seldom now that a mem.
Der of the bar has to be called in as
a substitute Justice. and the instances
wnere a Circuit Court Judge sits in
place of a Justice disqualified have re-
Gently been rare.
At the same time, the business 81
the Supreme Court steadily increases.
Where 80 cases decided formerly made
the record of a year, there are now
more than 100 cases on the calendar
This is an increase of 80 f.3 per cent
in appellate litigation since the court
was organized under Federal appoint
ment.
More than the usual proportion Il
what jurists call major cases have
lately come before the court.
