NEW YORK. Sept. H.--The situation
with regard to the proposals issued by the
bureau of equipment of the navy depart
ment for supplying coal for the battleship
fleet on its voyage to the Pacific, says the
Journal of Commerce, has assumed rather
interesting shape here by the statements
of several agents of the larger coal min
ing concerns that they would not present
bids. Their reasons are that they have
not the necessary quantity of coal on
hand, aside from the quantity demanded
by private contracts already entered into.
The companies claim they have no re-
serve stocks on hand amounting to any
thing, and that the labor situation is such
they cannot increase their mining capac-
ity The coal. 1t was stated, can be OBJ
tanned in England IL it is necessary to go
there, but the prices will undoubtedly be
what might be classed as fancy"
WASHINGTON, Sept 14.-If coal mining
companies have decided not to present
bids for the contract of furnishing coal to
take the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific coast
Us purpose of the companies have not
been communicated to Secretary Metcalf,
according to statement he made today.
Admiral Cowles, the chief of the bureau
of equipment, says he has no apprehen~
sion that the navy department will not be-
| able to obtain all the coal needed for the
| fleet. Sufficient coal is already pledged by
the companies through which the regular
supply is obtained. The department de-
sires that the coal be shipped in American
boats If possible, but If necessary will use
| foreign bottoms for this purpose IL the
price asked by American dealers are re-
garded as practically prohibitory.
| Arrangements are being made for load
ing the supply ships Glacier and Culgoa
with the provisions for the trip of the
battleship fleet on the Pacific coast They
will be ready to sail December 10, giving
them time to join the battleship fleet
when it starts on the 18th. All the big
battleships of Admiral Evans feet except
the Vermont and the Louisiana are now
at the target grounds, Cape Cod bay, and
the range firing will begin Monday.

Trouble Likely to Extend to All sys

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. IA general
strike of boilermakers on the Chicago
Great Western, Great Northern, Omana,
Northern Pacific & 500 railroads was
called today and 1t is expected the
shops of the entire systems of those
roads will be tied up. The boilermak-
ers are aided in their fight by their
helpers and in the case of the Great
Western Nthe machinists in the big
shops at Oelwein went out in sym
pathy.
The strike of the boilermakers fol-
lowed refusal of the railroads to ac-
cede to demand for As cents an hour
east of the Mississippi river and 47R
cents west of that river.
This the railroads considered to be
the heaviest demand ever made by any
of their shop employees. AS a compro-
mise the railroads offered 411h cents an
hour east and 431s cents west of the
Mississippi with the nine-hour day for
both.
The Great Western situation is COM
plicated by an alliance between the
machinists and the boilermakers. On
the other lines only the boilermakers
and their helpers went out. OF the en-
tire number of men out the boilermak-
ers represent about one-third while the
rest are helpers who had no grievances,
Reports at headquarters of the roads
here show that there are out on the
Great Northern $50, Great Western 225,
Omaha 100, Northern Pacific 33S and
the 500 line at Shoreham 225. Rail
road officials expect that the strike
will spread rapidly and that they will
be seriously handicapped at once.

tire force of boilermakers. numbering
sixty employed in the Great Northern
