More Testimony From the Coal
Regions.

In the February McClure's.
In the February McClure's appears an
other very striking picture of conditions
in the Hard Coal Regions. 1t is called
"Children of the Coal Shadow and is
written bv Francis H. Nichols. OF chief
intereet is Mr.. Nichols's account of the
"iunior" unions formed by the boys
working in the mines, and by their Sis
thrs, who worl, in the mills that have
come to "Anthracite" on account of ti.e
cheap labor there. These child unions
have the same organization, the same
aims, the same methods. and often ac-
complIsh the same results as the men $
unions, on which they are modelled
Their hatred of the "scab' is even more
intense. Some of the stores Mr.. Nichols
tells in this connection, show very sig
nificantly that the force of young Amer
lea in the Coal Regions is force to be
reckoncd with.

STOCKS FEWRISH.
Much OF Mondays Loss Has
Been Recovered.

New York. April 1.-THE stock mar
ket was feverish and unsettled again
this morning. Influential support how
ever. was accorded at the start today
and the heavy offerings We're absorbed
and prices bid up determinedly as Of
ten as they fell. This had the effect of
restoring confidence and checking the
flood Of liquidation The market was
much steadier in the second hour when
prices for leading active stocks were a
point or more over last night. Northern
Securities on the curb opened 81, COM
pared with yesterdays last price of 951s.
advanced TO 9I% and then relaDsed to
951z on light sales.
A recovery of Northern Securities OF
the curb to above the opening level
helped to feassure sentiment on the
stock exchange and the market became
dun and quiet but decidedly firm. The
level of prices for the majority of ac-
tive stocks ruled between 1 and ? above
last night The bear party was inciin-
ed to cover and caused a hardening ten
dency of the market, but the volume Of
dealings was much diminished on the
advance and buyers were not disposed
to follow prices upward with any eager
ness
Prices were well sustained during the
latter part of the session The average
level was lifted further except in d few
active stocks. Southern Pacific, Mis-
souri, Pacific. Norfolk & Western. the
Rock Island stocks. Chicago Great West
ern, Erie, Kansas City Southern. Union

preferred, Biscuit and Lead attained a

Investment lost L the preferred 6. Pa
