THE BURDEN OF THE STRIKE.

The poor people suffer the most from
the coal strike Samuel Gompers. pTesi-
dent OF the American Federation Of La
Dor. who has been investigating the
matter, says in hts letter that "150, 900
miners are on a strike" and that large
expenditures are involved IN maintain
ing the needy miners, their wifes and
children. even in the commonest neces-
saries Of life" But Mr. GomDers says
that the strikers viii win.
With cold weather the expenditures
will be much greater. and where is the
money coming from? In the meantime
millions Of poor people will suffer ter
rfbly. though not concerned in the strike
The poor people OF New York. who are
buying coal by the pail. are paying $50 a
ton. II might be interesting TO know
the names Of the dealers who sell coal
for $50. for which they paid probably
not over one-sixth Of that sum. The
coal operators are not charging enor-
nous prices for the coal they sell, but
the dealers are doing that.
Rich and poor. suffer for lack Of coal
Bv reason Of this inevitable suffering
from cold. disease will greatly increase

when the strike is over it will take
