wll be not less than 81 900, 600 in the national
treasury at the expiration Of the present
wage contract in April 1908.
Leading men in the organization say
that. with he exception OF conditions in
the anthracite field, where there has been
more or less trouble ever since the settle
rnent Of the last strike, they arc not ap-
prohensive of any serious trouble, Tor tho
present wage agree ment has q year yet to

agreement being broken by either party

tons they say, are continually inmical
