Government Appeals to Supreme Court

An appeal by the Government from the

OPERATORS HAVE YET TO
LEARN COST OF STRIKE
Enormous Increase in Use of Oil Burners Indicates Loss
of Big Slice of Domestic Coal Market.

The Patent Office is taxing lively in
terest in matters pertaining to the coal
strike these days. In one department
alone-that devoted to oil and gas fuel
devices-there has been an increase Of
over 100 per cent in patent applications.
The possible effect of this active mani
festation of inventive ingenuity upon the
coal property interests is attracting at
tention.
4 notice that The Times recently es-
timated the losses due to the coal strike
at about $40. 900. 600, remarked a
prominent Patent Office official this
morning In my opinion. this great
sum is but a part Of the immense losses
which will result directly from the
great strike. and especially in the case
of the mine owners and operators. The
operators have allowed a vast market
to slip away from them. Oil burners
and other substitutes have quietly
stepped in and taken the place Of coal
in hundreds OF instances Tho increase
in patent applications on gas and oil
burners shows now matters are going.

people to work TO find every possible
substitute for cofl in anticipation OF the
cold weather which is at hand Oil and
gas burners have proven the most pop
ular, and many large firms, as we'll as
many private families. have gone to
heavy expense to install apparatus Of
this character for both cooking and
heating. It Is reasonable to suppose, II
these plants give satisfaction, that few
Of them will be thrown out just be-
cause the coal strike has been settled.
In fact, while the strike itself may be
regarded as of the past, It viii prob

critics may be readily surmised.
The records aid daily experiences at
the Patent Office during the past month
afford a vivid idea OF the impetus given
oil burning devices For the past three
years there has been a steadily increas-
ing volume OF applications for patents
on apparatus of this class. The recent
discoveries Of oil brought about another
increase. As result of the COIL strike

patents on devices for the use OF oil as
g fuel have kaen received
The applications plainly show that
they are the result of the coal famine.
a large percentage having been gotten
up in such q hurry that the department

FEW DEPARTMENT VOTERS
GOING HOME THIS YEAR
Republican Congressional
Committee Disturbed

The Republican Congressional commit
tee is reported out Of patience with the
Interpretation put upon civil service
rules by the authorities in regard to the
plan for inducing department employees
to go home for the purpose Of voting.
The committee has obtained a half rate
for voters on all railroads.
A few days ago the heads OF depart
ments were asked for permission to post
laininE this arrangement and urging
voters to take advantage Of it
But in the opinion of the civil service
officials this was not allowable, under a
strict Interpretation of the rules. One
such notice was removed by order OF
the civil service officers.
The committee is becoming discour-
aged over The failure to get employees OF
the different departments tc go home and
vote in their Congressional elections,
It is declared that only a few hundred
men who hold positions In the classified
service will go home next month for the
purpose of voting. as against the thou
sands of Government clerks in Washing
ton who secured leave Of absence abou.
election time in former years FOR this
purpose.
The last big exodus Of voters on record
Is that Of 1895. when civil service was an
issue in the campaign and its stability
was threatened 1t is declared by a
member Of the committee that ten thou
sand voters went home that year. The
same gentleman gives II as his opinion
that this year less than three hundred
