PROBLEM TO BRING COAL HERE
Anthracite Men Complain Of Car Shortage
The BituminOus situation.

The failure of the conference at Cleve-
land bet ween the operators and the repre-
sentatives OF the bituminous miners
ca used little furry on the market yester-
day. Dealers are holding on to see
what is going to happen.
The quest on OF how many contract
anthracite miners who are certificated
under the law OF the State of Penns ylvania
was regarde as OF great Importance
Yesterday No miner without a certifi-
cate from the Miners Examining Board
of the district in whic he works can
blast coal under the law. II In provided
by this law that before a miner can be
certificated he must have TWO years
experience of the work RI a helper in the
anthracite mines.
Some OF the mine bosses and super
intendents have been promoted from the
ranks of the contract min ,rs since the
strike of 1902. They could he used as
miner in an emergency. but they are
comparatively few in number. In a
recent report of the Departmental ines
of ennsylvania il says that the act OF
1907 providing for the certifcation of
features. The law provides that ca pable
miners from foreign countries have to
spend two years as laborers in the mines
before they can he certifcated. The
result is TO keep many English. Scotch.
Welsh and Irish miners from the anthra-
cite fields. The law. the report SAYS,
is frequently violated by the certiHcating
of miners to get fees.
Representatives of the anthracite COM
panies said yesterday that the chief
problem they are now contending with
is to get the coal to market One man
said: a. :
"rhe restriction of cars is the principal
difficulty, Under the weather conditions
cars have been kept waiting and rather
than lose time. they are loaded with other
merchandise. This leaves a shortage of
cars for coal when it can be brought to
market - -
IL was stated that the difficulties in
getting the coal away had kept mining
back also. The small steam sizes are
getting scarcer daily and pea co n. which
was selling at 81 and SI,1S ton, was
bringing from 81 .25 to $2.75. -
A. J,'McBrde of the Pocahontas. Con-
fsolidated Galleries Company a soft coal
concern, said that he thought there would
I've a suspension of work in both the btu
minous and anthracite fields on Ap il i.
but II was possible that neither would
develop into strike,
Some of the soft coal operators said
that the leaders of the anthracite workers
did not seem to realize that il they gained
the closed shop il would prove boomer
ang. In that case the bituminous miners
could outvote the anthracite mine workers
and call a strike of the anthracite, miners

Arabian Horses.

There is no animal history recorded
that is so ancient as that connected
with the Arabian horse, and there nat
urally has been great deal of cOnjec-
ture as to where he came from. While
there is but one general breed of Arab
horses, writes Homer Davenport in the
Woman's Home Companion, there are
many subfamilies, and OF these there
are five primary families called the
khamseh. As the legend runs, these
have descended from five great mares
which with other mares of King Solo
mon were drinking at river after long
hardships in war when the trumpet
blew calling them back to battle. Only
five responded TO the CALL and it was
those five that founded the five great
families.
