COAL SUPPLY
GETS SHORT.
PRICES. RISE
Fear Of Miners Strike Causes
Rush. on Part Of
Consumers.

NEW YORK, March 7.--Fears Of a
strike of the 10000 anthracite coal
miners on April has caused a gem
eral rush on the part of consumers for
coal to carry them over the strike Pc
.riodi' This sudden demand became
widespread today when 1t was re-
ported that the railroads, instead of
having a large amount of coal in
storage in preparation for a possible
strike, were really running short and
were making every effort to, increase
their depleted reserve.
In consequence many dealers have
increased the price of coal from 81
to $1.25 ton. The operators state that
the coal at the mines is now selling at
the regular March price.
Should the threatened st.ike become
an actuality 1t is said that John
Mitchell, who has successfully man
aged one or two of the greatest strikes
of the miners in history. win come
forward as the real leader of the
United Mine Workers of America. This,
II is said, the coal operators realize,
and II was considered at the confer
ence of the mine owners here yester-
day. Because of his great friendship
for John P. White, the present head
of the mine workers organization,
Mitchell is expected by the miners TO
give the strikers. if the strike comes,
the aid of his skill and experience.
LONDON, March 7.--The first sign
Of any break in the coal strike comes
from North Wales, where the Golfers
of some Of the smaller mining COM
panies have reopened negotiations with
the owners with the view of starting
work in the pits again. Some of these
mines are worked by non-unionists.
Others, however, have hitherto been
operated by union men.
While the prospects of settlement
of the coal dispute appear somewhat
brighter today conditions in other in
dustries are becoming worse, every
hour. The number of discharges of
workmen from their employment Is in
creaslng everywhere and many cases
are reported where great distress pre-
walls among the laboring class.

TO BOARD
Business Men in Centre
of City Make
Complaint.

Representatives of Newark depart
turers and fire insurance companies
are appearing before the Board of
Works this afternoon to demand the
abolition or equilization Of high pres
sure water rates The active fight be-
ing waged against the assessment of
$3.50 year for each high pressure con-
nection is an outcome of feeling of
injustice which has been growing for
years.
According TO many prominent busi-
ness men 1t is absurd for the city to
levy a tax of $50 upon every merchant
who goes to the expense OF piping his
building for high pressure. while those
who depend upon the high pressure
hydrants of the city pay nothing. II is
urged that the assessment should be
entirely abolished or so equalized that
everyone in the pressure zone will
share the expense.
Among those who are against the
present system of assessment are John
NJ. Hughes. proprietor of the Newark
Inspection Bureau; LoWs Bamberger
and Felix F'uld. of L. Bamberger &
Co.; Theodore J. Gerth, of the Goerlke
