Representatives of local dealers have

past few days, but can find no coal fo-

EUROPE SEES GRAVE DANGER
IN PRESENT COAL STRIKE

are opposing military resistance to mob
violence. and in each country political
and social consequences which follow

The French disturbance is largely po-

be tantamount to the abrogation o. the

concern.
The whole naval situation in the Medi-

FEAR THAT COAL FAMINE
MAY AFFECT THE NAVY
Stringency in Supply Likely to Prevent West Indian
Maneuvers This Winter.

The stringency in the supply of coal
is beginning 10 affect the navy, and il
is now regarded as likely that. with Il
continuance OF present conditions, il
will be impossible to send large fleet,
or any fleet at all, to engage in the West
Indian maneuvers this winter.
The navy uses soft coal for fuel on
war vessels, and 1t was believed by the
naval authorities that the strike among
the anthracite miners would not have
any marked effect on the price or the
supply of the bituminous product.
When the strike in the anthracite
fields was imminent Rear Admiral Z.
B. Bradford, Chief of the Naval Bureau
of Equipment, who is in charge of the
work of supplying warships and naval
stations, decided to take no chances ou
the possibility of a shortage of bitumi
nous coal and proceeded to make con-
tracts at the then low price, which
would give the fleet sufficient fuel for
the Iest of this fiscal year, which will
end on June 80.
Scarcity of Product.
Until recently the contractors have
not failed in their obligations, ana 1t
was the confident feeling of the Navy
that the efficiency Of the
feet would not be impaired through ans
coal shortage. The department has aow
learned. however, that there is scarci
y of bituminous COAL and it is doubt
'ul whether there can be enough of 1t

Second, The hour between 10 and IL

URGENT APPEAL FOR
RELIEF OF STRIKERS
Issued by American Fedora
ton of Labor.
ASKS PUBLIC TO ORGANIZE
In Behalf of Miners Wage Earners Are
Requested to Give Sub
stantial Aid.

The executive council of the American
| Federation of Labor issued an appeal TO
the public and to organized labor last
evening. asking contributions of money
for the relief of the striking miners in
| the anthracite region. The appeal.
which has been the subject of a three
DAYS conference of the council, is as
follows:
The strike of the miners is now in Its
twenty-third week. That the strike oc-
Cured was entirely the fault of the
presidents of the coal companies; that
the strike has continued TO this day is
entirely due to the contempt which the
presidents of the coal companies nave
for the people OF our country, and the
untold suffering which all may endure.
Criticises the Operators.
mo offer to settle the strike could be
fairer than that made by the miners
representatives at the conference with
President Roosevelt. The operators
naughty arrogance, brutal, dominating
spirit, blasphemous assumption of di-
vine wealth -proprietorship, shocked the
civilized world, and aroused the honest
indignation of all lovers of justice and
fair dealing.
What more could the miners do and
maintain their self-respect and not for
felt the respect OF their fellow men,
than their Willingness TO submit all
matters in dispute to commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, and.
when that was refused, to leave the en-
tire controversy to Mr.. j. Pierpont Nor
gan, one of the men largely interested
with the operators.
There has never been a slime, either
before the strike or since its Inaugural
ton. that the miners have not been en-
tirely willing to have the questions i'll
volved in ahe miners claims investigated
and adjusted by any msinterested per-
sons. These circumstances in connec-
tion with the strike are recounted so
that the people of our country may place |
where it properly belongs the RESPONSE |
bilitv for all the suffering which the |
people may have to bear by reason of |
the impending coal famine.

PARTISAN STRIKERS
ARE CLOSELY GUARDED
Quiet Restored, But Officials Insist Upon

Manager-Strikers Object.

PARIS, Oct. 11.-Quiet was again re-
stored in the city today by the authori-
ties placing re- endorsements at all points
where the disorderly strikers were likely
to congregate. 1t is expected that all
further trouble will be avoided now that
most of the anarchists who are blamed
for the. disturbances have been expelled.
The tramway company has emphati-
cally refused to discharge their Ameri-
can manager Bradford. against whom
protest was made by the strikers.
