HEAVY LOSS TO MINERS.
Geological Surveys View of the Big AM
thracite Strike.

Washington, D. c., Especial. The re-
port OF Edward W. Parker on the pro-
duction Of coal in 1902, about to be issued
by the United States Geological Survey,
gives a review of labor troubles during
that year and their effect upon the coal
production. The report says:
THE troubles in the anthra lite district
resulted in decrease of nearly 40 per
cent. in production to the operators as
compared with 1901. Approximately
145, 900 men were idle for IS working
days, and the public was put to greater
inconvenience and annoyance for want
Of fuel than had ever been known before
in the history of the country. 1t is esti-
mated that the total number of worllin g
days lost by this strike WIS 14,210, 900,
which, at an average of $40 Il day.
meant a loss of about $35, 900, go in
wages.
The strikes in West Virginia were or-
ganized for the purpose of compelling
the operators to recognize the union.
The strikers carried their point in the
Kanawha river, but in the New river
district the strike failed of it's purpose
The time lost in West Virginia in 1902
was 1862, O54 days, or nearly twice as
much as that lost by strikes in all the
United States III 1901 The estimated
loss of tonnage for the State caused by
the strike was about 4, 500, 600 tons, al
though, on account of increased activity
in other portions of the State, there was
40 actual decrease in output as compared
with 1901

the great river is still filled with huge
masses of ice in the vicinity of Havrc de

nearly to the track level of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad bridge at that place, and
the lower portions of the town were
flooded. The cable beneath the floor of
the bridge. containing the railroad tele-
graph wires, was cut and swept away by
the rushing ice and water, rs were also
all the yachts and fishing craft along the
Havre de Grace waterfront.
