GREAT COAL STRIKE
IS STILL POSSIBLE
Trouble May Come at End Of
Temporary Settlement.
Meanwhile the Truce Viii Bring Consid-
cradle Benefit to the Operators and
Disadvantage to Miners.

NEW YORK. March zs--Although the
efforts Of the consultation committee OF
the Civic Federation to adjust the differ
ences between the anthracite coal miners
and the operators has been entirely sue
cessful in the preliminary attempt, mas
much as the chance OF an immediate
strike at the mines has been averted. #
is said by some persons that il is by no
means TO be assumed that the question is
entirely settled.
One thing is generally conceded in the
financial district. and that is that the
operators got the best o. the preliminary
argument. and that the thirty-day truce
places them in a decidedly better position
in the event OF a st-ike being finally de-
clared.
If a strike had not been averted for the
present. It is said. zad il it were pro-
loEged, il would net only cause a coal
famine. but come very close to tying UP
the anthracite coal carrying railroads.
Some Of them have not pound Of coal
in storage.
