STRIKE MAY CAUSE
INCREASE IN PRICE

CHICAGO, March 31.--A sharp ad-
vance In the price OF coal to the small
consumer is expected TO be the imme-
diate result OF the strike of miners in
the Illinois coal fields which will be-
gin to- morrow. This was the predic-
ton made to-day by retail coal dealers
who say Chicago never was so poorly
prepared for a strike as at present.
The railroads and the big Industries
which buy their coal in immense guam
titles, are in good shape. as they have
been storing fuel for weeks. Consum-
ers who buy coal in carload lots or
less than carload lots. however. will
suffer.
The dealers believe the Illinois strike
win not last more than a month, but
in the meantime they fear numerous
small concerns win have TO shut down,
Meanwhile both operators and min
ers in Illinois are bending their efforts
TO adjust the existing difficulties. Presi-
dent Lewis, of the United Mine Work
ers, il expected to come next week
and get the contending factions to-
gether. Seventy Ave thousand miners
win quit in Illinois to- might.
The $4,000 miners In Kansas have
received instructions from their off,
Gals to strike tomorrow and all viii
go out.
In Iowa a joint conference Of min
ers and operators is still trying TO
evert a strike. John p. White, Iowa
president of the miners, reached Des
Moines to-day to attend the confer
ence. The Iowa miners demand an
increase of 10 cents ton.
