BRIEF REVIEW OF THE

mine workers adjourned Feb. 2, fol
lowing a conference with operators
which had failed to arrive at a wage
agreement, a strike on April 1 was in
evitable unless something should in
teryene
Made Many Demands
At the convention the miners had
demanded an increase in wages of 121a
per cent, the admission of the south
western states. per cent difference
between machine and pick mining, a
1919 per cent advance for yardage and
dead work, prohibition of the employ
ment of boys under 16, eight-hour day,
one-year contract, and run-of-mine
basis.
Resolution I'm the Way.
The miners also adopted a resolu.
tion, offered by Ryan of Illinois, that
no district should sign a wage agree
ment until all districts signed. The
Ryan resolution will come before the
convention for action. Unless it is re-
scinded the bituminous miners cannot

BEING FELT HERE
Prospects of Coal Strike Renders
Prices High and Supply
Uncertain.
DEALERS NEARLY SOLD OUT
Several Causes Lead to Situation Here
Lump Goes High as $3.50 Per
Ton Wholesale.

The effect of the prospect of a coal
strike is being felt keenly in Rock Is
land, with the approach of April 1, the
date on which the strike is expected to
become effective, and what are said to
be the highest prices ever paid for
coal in wholesale lots in this city were
quoted yesterday and today. Dealers
in Rock Island have sold out practical
ly all of their supply and are making
efforts in every direction to secure the
coal already ordered. A, wholesale to-
day lump coal sold in Rock Island at
prices ranging between S3.35 and $3.50,
and the time of delivery is uncertain.
Many Causes.
The causes that have brought about
the shortage of coal in Rock Island
are many. but are all the results of the
prospect of the strike. Railways and
manufacturers in all parts of the coun-
try are laying in big stores of coal, and
the output of the mines is largely ex-
hausted in filling the orders of the
railroads alone. The roads will de-
liver no cars for shipment of coal at
the mines until their own daily orders
are filled, and as these are large, at
many of the mines exceeding 500 tons
daily. the proportion that is shipped
to the trade is comparatively small,
and commands unusually high prices.
Even Slack Scarce.
Slack. which is used extensively by
the manufacturers and other large con-
sumers, is even more scarce on the
local markets than lump coal is, near
ly all of the dealers being entirely
sold out. The prices it commands are
unusually high as a result. The roads
have up to the last few days been in
such condition that very little coal was
hauled from the banks to the three
cities, but the teams were busy again
today, and a portion of the demand is
being supplied in that way.

the fact that when his nomination in

statement that under no conditions
would he again be candidate. l be-

sank. Eighteen survivors arrived at
Boston yesterday.
Suffering Extreme.
Boston, March Is Suffering, men
tai and physical, and numerous acts
of heroism in saving life rarely equal
ed in the record of tragedies Of the sea,

ish King, which, on Sunday last, in Il
raging Atlantic storm, founded $50
miles south of Sable island, and car
ried to death 27 members of the crew.
Thirteen men were rescued from the
sinking vessel by the steamer Boston
ian and by the German tank steamer
Mannheim. Five others who had been
drawn down in the vortex into which
the British King was engulfed were
picked up by the Bostonian from frail
bit of wreckage which they had grasp
ed after a desperate struggle for life
in the whirlpool.
CAPTAIN Dies of Injuries.
Captain James O'Hagan of the Brit
ish King died on board the Bostonian
from the effects of terrible injuries
sustained in trying TO save his ship.
Two life boats from the BostOnian
vara crucbad to FRAGMENTS and tho
volunteer crews which manned them
were thrown into the high running
seas while engaged in the work of
rescue, but all were safely landed on
board the steamer.
Worked Three Days.
For three days her captain and crew,
working against unconquerable odds,
had tried to prevent their ships de-
struction. Friday, in the height of the
tempest, a deck load of oil barrels Of
the British King and all her fittings
were carried overheard. The barrels
and wreckage. forming into Il powerful
ram. were driven down upon her sides
with crushing force, opening up the
vessels plates and allowing water to
pour into her hold. Fires were eXtin-
guished and the engines rendered use
less by the rising water. At the end
of three days, when all hands had la
bored ceaselessly without rest and with
little food. the Bostonian and Mannheim
were sighted and to these Captain
O'Hagan displayed signals for assist
ance, and such help as possible was
given him.
