HEAVY LOSSES IN WYOMING
Sheep Starving and Owners
and HerderS Suffered Ter
ribIy in Recent Storms.
Especial to The HeraIdD

Cheyenne, WyO., March 25.-"Sase-
brush is wearing out" is the signifi-
cant report received at sheepmen's
headquarters here this morning in an
swer to Geographic and telephone
queries sent to all parts of the state.
Among range men this means that
losses, especially among sheep. are all
ready occurring. and fears are enter
tanned of still further losses.
Authentic information is to the eff
feet that the losses among sheen ON
the ranges of Wyoming have already
been heavy, and unless the weather
moderates at once will be enormous
Entire f1Ocks will be completely wiped
out in some localities, while they will
be greatly decimated in others.
In the Red desert sheep are starving
and although owners have had orders
In for hay and corn for several weeks.
the orders have not been filed.
Reports from all parts of the state
tell of terrible suffering among the
owners and herders as well as among
the stock itself. Many owners and
flock tenders have received frozen
faces, feet and hands, while the num-
Der suffering with snow blindness is
something awful
Conservative sheepmen had hoDed
for a change of weather and favorable
reports from the range, but there is
now use in keeping back the terrible
truth The losses in dollars and cents
cannot be computed 1t is by far the
worst calamity that has befallen the
livestock industry, and especially the
sheep business in Wyoming since the
late SOS, when millions of dollars were
lost in the range cattle business.

WHY PRICE WOULD RISE.
Anthracite Coal Operators Give Out
Some Figures.

New York, March 25.-The anthracite
coal operators gave out a statement to-
day IN which they said:
Much inquiry has been made as TO
the precise calculation by which the
anthracite coal operators establish the
fact that in order to grant the demands
made by the coal miners it viii be ne
cessary TO raise the price charged the
consumer by S1.2O ton.
The demands of the miners provide
for three-fOld increase of wages:
First, an increase of 10 per cent to all
miners engaged in cutting coal or other
men engaged in contract work
Second, the establishment of a min
imum day wage for each class of la
Dor. This minimum day wage in many
instances is 100 per cent greater than
the rates now being paid.
Third, the establishment of an eight
hour day, instead of a nine-hOur day.
without any reduction in a days pay.
Figures of the Operators.
BY careful calculation from the pay
rolls of the operation companies the ef-
feet of these three increases is to add
an average of PISA per cent to the ac-
tual labor cost per ton OF coal. This is
equal at the present labor cost of 81 So
TO an increase of 1858 cents Der ton on
all sizes of coal which are mined.
1t must be understood however
that the so-called steam sizes of an
thracite, which are a by-product of the
industry, come into direct competition
with the bituminOus coal and must
therefore be sold for a price regulated
by soft coal The result is that all the
added labor cost of the entire Industry
must be borne by the domestic sizes
which comprise 60 per cent Of the en-
tire output
This placing the burden on the do
nestle sizes, a fact against which there
can be no appeal brings it about that
the labor cost Of each ton Of coal sold
TO the domestic consumer would be
raised under the new demands by 65.s
cents a ton.
Question of Consumers.
The general public asks: Why would !
not the addition of 51.S cents to the
market price regain the entire outlay /!
Of the operator? This query ignores |
one OF the important awards of the
Roosevelt arbitration board, viz: The /
sliding scale.
According TO the sliding scale the
present fat rate of wages must be paid i
