Scranton, Pa. (SpeciaD There is
every indication that a fuel famine is inn
minent--a situation appalling in its posi-
bilities.
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 $40 a 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
householder, 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-
pestion has been made by some of the
operators that the law preventing any
miner 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repealed at a special session of the Legis-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 If this were done President Fow-
Ter, Of the New York, Ontario and West
ern 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 a month or
six weeks.
Another operator denies that this
would solve the problem of breaking the
strike.
The operators will not listen to arbi-
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.
