COAL FAMINE PREDICTED.
Trust Likely to Force Higher Prices
Again

Reports from New York declare that all
| indications point toward another hold-up
by the coal trust this winter. 1t is under
stood that conspiracy is afoot to cause
another strike of the miners as soon as the
present schedule of rates expires In the
meantime the trust Is boarding away great
quantities of anthracite in preparation for a
strike.
The railroads have gained control of all
the coal-carrying canals and closed them
to Independent concerns 1t is now planned
by others to open all of these waterways
into the heart of the coal region and to
break the back of the coal combination.
comprehensive idea of the splendid
system of canals built into the anthracte
region shows at a glance how easy IL would
be to utilize the natural and easily con-
structed waterways to carry coal into New
York.
Recent agitation of the question has in
duced large interests in New York to join
the movement to open up the closed canals.
Although il was generally known that the
canal business had dropped off to a great
extent during the last fifteen years it was
not realized that these great carriers of in
land commerce had almost ceased to be-

prices. He says he found thousands of tons
of the coal stored away. The miners he
talked with told him that they felt sure the
combination would force a strike Just as
soon as the mining schedule of rates set by
the coal commission expires.

satisfaction Is expressed among the work.
ers that practically none OF the employees
have been detained on the Saturday half
holidays. the absence Of the uncertain con-
ditions of last year in that regard being a
decided relief, the rush Of work rendering
1t impossible to make any plans for the en-
joyment of the holiday during the heated
term last summer.
The excessively warm weather has Great
ed the desire on a large part of the force
of the big printery to use at least por-
ton of its annual leave of absence. and
fortunately the condition of the work in
the office is such that practically all who
so desire can be spared. A number of en-
pioyes took advantage of the opportunity
presented by the proximity of the Fourth
and the Saturday half holiday to make eX-
tended trips, while the exodus to nearby
points was very large.
After careful consideration and estimates
the office has discontinued the use of the
record slips which have accompanied the
completed take in the composing rooms,
going back to the old and tried system of
passing dUpeS. The task of taking du
plicate of the proofsheet is not great, and
1t does away with the loss of time and an
noyance to the compositor of measuring
the amount of type contained in each take
and stamping the slip. This system has
been in use in the office for nine or ten
years, but the compositors are said to have
never taken kindly to the innovation, and
its adjustment is considered a decided re-
lief
The preparedness of the Office to meet
any and all conditions that are presented
in printing office was illustrated recently

to the specifica tons division to assist in
