Chicago correspondence:

y ONSIDERING the paramount i'm
III portance OF coal as q necessity of
~ life, it is not surprising that the
menace of a continued shortage should
have stirred public opinion so deeply
throughout The country. There is no
mistaking tie signs of the apprehension
which undel'lies the present movements
in every important center in the country.
The congressional investigation at Wash
ington, Mayor Lows call for confer
ence in New York, the appeal issued by
Mayor Maybury of Detroit for joint ac-
ton on the part of Governors and May
ors and the prosecution begun in Chicago
before a grand jury are indications of a
serious and widespread agitation. There
is evidently a general agreement with
the sentiment expressed by Judge Nc
Even in his charge to the special grand
jury that such an interference with the
coal supply as is now charged is "a crime
and an infamy."
The doings at .Arcola. H.. are instruc-
tive. When the leading men in town
Its bankers, merchants, lawyers and
doctors-lay violent hands on coal which
does not belong to them it is evident they
are in sore need of Goa. 1t is said half
the people were out of fuel. The local
coal dealers have not been able to get
any for some time. The citizens have
seen coal trains passing through their
town and making no deliveries there.
The action of the citizens of Arcola
was clearly illegal. No one has a right
to help himself to the property of an
other without obtaining the consent of
the owner. But "self-preservation is the
first law of nature" If the state of
affairs at Arcola has been as bad as the
dispatches report it is not to be wondered
- that tho people should take adyan-
tage of the opportune breakdown of a
coal train.
The special Cook County grand jury is
now investigating the coal question. 1t
Is alleged by business men that there is a
greater volume of coal in Chicago this

there were no complaints of scarcity. 1t
Is asserted that there are thousands of

unloaded and their contents delivered to

with the production of coal. With this end
In view we are prompted to address this
communication to all members of our union
and request they cooperate with the man
