What the Dealers Here Have 10 Say
on the Subject,
RAILROADS CONfIsCATlN6 COAL

At present there is no obvious rea.
son why Albuquerque consumers of
coal should be anxious about their
winter supply OF fuel on account OF
tho prevailing strikes.
There Is nothing in the situation at
the Madrid. Gallup or tho Carthage
mines that should cause anxiety.
a rumor was out on the street last
night that the mines in the Colorado
Fuel and Iron cOmpany's mines at
Madrid would walk cut this morning
but nothing definite In regard to the
rumor has been learned.
The Clarkvllle mines at Gallup are
working and the prcdomnating feel.
ing at Gallup is that there will be no
walkouts there
John $. Beaver, manager OF the
Ciarkyile coal yards here, said this

from the mines. lie also stated that
he was receiving and filing orders for
Clarkville coal at Ness City, Kansas.
w. II. Hahn, manager of the Ger.
rillos yards, said this afternoon that
he had heard nothing of a walkout
at Madrid and didn't believe that
there was any Truth in the rumor. He
has taken the precaution to limit all
orders received to ton delivery,
which he considers a fairness to his
patrons aud a safe guard against any
trouble that may arise He received
an order from the Cananea Copper
company OF Mexico for twenty cars OF
