COAL STRIKE UNCHANGED
Prices Of Hard Coal AOt Advanced, Soft
Coal Beginning to Grow Scarce

The situation in the coal strike is
about the same. as far as its effects
on Wilmington is concerned. There
has not been any advance in the prices
of hard coal for more than a week, and
the local dealers do not anticipate any.
Their supply is getting very low, how
ever. but they say the demand is not
heavy. as most of the families OF the
city are burning gas.
The greater part of the coal now used
is sold by the smaller dealers or gro
cerymen, who retail IL at so much a
busihel or basket Many families buy
the coal this way for their daily use,
and find it cheaper than by the ton or
half ton.
The large manufacturing concerns
have fallen back on soft coal, which
lis ~gettng scarce, and If the
demand for hard coal does not increase
the dealers think they will have enough
Ito supply private families until the end
.of the strike.

AS a result of trouble between the
board of managers Of the Delaware Hos
pital and Miss Julia c. Wilson, the super
intendent, the latter has resigned, along
with Miss Mary Reifsneider. day super
intendent, and Miss Connell, night su-
perlntendent All Of the designations
were voluntary on the part of the
nurses, and will go into effect on July
T. Their successors have not yet been
selected, and will not before some
time.
The direct cause Of Miss Wilson S
resignation being sent in was because
of a letter of complaint sent TO the
meeting OF the board OF managers by
President Tilghman Johnston. of the
board Of trustees. He complained be-
cause of alleged hareh treatment David
Lindsay, Jr., received at the hands of
Miss Wilson. The story is that Mr..
Lindsay drove to the hospital an in
iured emplOye of the Augustine Mills,
and that while he was being treated
Miss Wilson told Mr.. Lindsay in very
plain language her opinion of a cor
poratiOn that sent it's men TO be treat
ed at a hospital and did not pay for
the treatment nor make a donation to
the institution. Mr.. Lindsay is the son
.of David Lindsay, OF the Augustine
Mills
The other two nurses resigned be-
cause they believed Miss Wilson to be
in the right. On several occasions men
injured in the plant have been sent to
the hospital. and each time Miss Viii
son questioned the right of the hospital
to do the work free.
Some Of the doctors who have been
called in to dress the wounds, which,
| in most cases. were slight ones, OBJ
iected to being called 10 attend the pa
ltients. claiming that a doctor should
have been called to the mill TO dress
the injuries.
The Lindsay incident referred Ia
aboye is what led to Miss Wilson re-
lsignings lt is claimed by members OF
1.-THE institutions staff that the women
managers have been interfering witt
1.-The work Of the hospital.
An effort was made to see Miss vii
son at the hospital this morning, Dul
il was said she could not be seen. II
was learned, however. from Other
lsources. that she had resigned. Miss
Wilson objected TO the manner in
which the complaint was made against
her. She felt that Mr.. Johnston should
have consulted her before sending th'
lcomplaint to the board of managers.
When a committee from the mana.
gers called on her. showed Mr.. John.
lston's letter. and asked for an explana-
ltion, she gave notice that she would
resign. The committee requested heI
to write to Mr.. Lindsay, saying he had
