 the latter half of 1905, Occasioned, to a considerable extent, by the anticipa- ton of unfavorable labor conditions at
 the expiration of the five-year con- tracts between coal operators and the miners. These contracts expired dur | ing the spring of the present year, and caused, during their readjustment, an almost entire suspension of anthracite mining for a period of over month The estimated production of coke al !
