Mrs. Stone admitted this charge, but
claimed that no intimacy had existed
between her and Knott since their

OF various sizes of hard coal. in an
ticipation of prolonged disagreement
over the terms Of the next wage set
tlement.
There is very little hard coal in stor-
a. now. for the production since the
industrial depression began last Octo-
per has been greatly restricted. Since
the lower wholesale prices went into
effect on April LIST the demand from
dealers mas been SO great that the
stock of domestic sizes has been kept
at low ebb.
There has been some accumulation
OF smaller sizes. but this is expected
to be absorbed quickly when the large
industrial plants resume full operation.
Because OF those conditions 1t Is said
