ER. JoHNsoN's STATEMENT.
Will There Be an Anthracite Coal
Strike in the Springp

To the Editor of The Star:
Rejecting all alleged declaration affirma-
lions and denials proceeding from either
the mine workers. represented by Mr..
Mitchell, on the one hand, or the mine own
ers or operators on the other, I desire at
this time to make the following statement
and prediction:
II l were In Mr.. Mitchel's position and
really intended to enforce my demands BY
strike. certainly would not permit 1t to
be known al this time or at any other time
long enough in advance of the intended
strike TO give the consumer abundant op-
portunity to lay In supplies with which to
meet 1t. So far as statements are concern
ed which are alleged to proceed from the
side of the operators. whether their attitude
BIO right or wrong {and am not In position
to know, believe that 1t is their firm de-
termination to make no concessions what
ever. I am not able to believe that they
will either recognize the union as such or
agree to any increase In wages.
termining whether or not there will be a
strike as the householder.
q If the last half of March shall find the
bins of the householder with q six months
supply on hand. there will be no strike.
3. If the last half of March shall find the
bins Of the householder practically empty,
there is certain to be a strike.
Moral: Let the householder fill up his
bins now, while the coal can be had, and
every time there Is room for another ton
put it in. In other words, keep your coal
bins filed.
This course will take the matter entirely
out of the hands of both opera tors and mine
workers V. BALDWIN JOHNSON.
