When the last Of the days custom

York department store at $50 or
o'clock in the afternoon, the hustle and
hustle and noise and confusion in
separable from a throng of bargain
hunting shoppers may cease, but there
is no cessation of the activities of the
store. Business" so far as the sell
ing Of goods is concerned, stops, but
there is little or no let up in the move
ments of the great business machine
It's power and energy are simply
switched off in another direction
though with view solely to the re
sumption of trade the next morning.
With The closing of the doors be
hind the last belated ustomer and the

tries and the tying up of the produc-
ton by a gigantic strike or otherwise
with its attendant serious effects on
all other industrial pursuits, is some
thing not to be considered calmly
In Great Britain the feeling in re-
gard to the threatened upheaval in
the colliery districts was Well eX-
pressed recently by a newspaper
which said it would be the worst and
greatest industrial crisis Great Brit
ain has ever known"
The demands of the British Goa

Of a strike has been obtained, but
that fact does not necessarily mean
that the strike will occur, for the EN-
ployers and workers may reach set

when the strike is over the price
of coal will be up in proportion to the
concessions granted, with the owners
better off than before the quarrel be

THE ACTIVE NIGHT LIFE OF
A DEPARTMENT STORE

and each in a hurry to get through and
away, It is done with astonishing
quickness. Some will be ready to
leave in ten or fifteen minutes, and
even where the most elaborate dis
plays must be slowed away, seldom
does it require longer than a half hour
for the entire store, from easements to
top floors, to be covered for the
night.
This is the case also in the cashiers
department, where the scores OF clerks
who handle the money received are
through with their final checking up
OF accounts quite as quickly as the
sales clerks. At short intervals all
day each chasier's receipts and checks
slips have been collected, compared
and checked up by special clerks, so
that when the closing gong rings, only
the receipts of the late hour are to be
accounted for, and very rarely are
these as heavy as during the preceding
hours.
While the clerks have been thus
protecting the goods for the night
some scores OF scrub-women, sweepers
and other house cleaners, who report
ed for duty promptly at the closing
hour, have gotten out their soap anC
water, their pals and scrubbing brush
es, moUs, cloths and brooms, and, now
adys, their big electric vacuum clean

Probably for the first time in his
tory the coal miners of Great Britain
and America are threatening to go on
strike at about the same time In
both countries the miners are dissat-
isfied with existing conditions Of en-
plOyment, and the agreements under
which they are working expire about
the same date. Should the two threat
ened strikes occur together they will
form the biggest disturbance in the
coal industry ever known, for the
combined production in coal in Great
Britain and this country is greater
than that of the rest of the world
combined Only one other country,
Germany, has a coal production com
parable to that of either of the Eng
fish speaking nations. There is also
serious talk of great coal strikes in
Germany and France.
The latest year for which combined
figures are available is 1909 Then
