Coal Strike Situation.

Denver.-The American Fuel Com
pany, controlling one-third of the out
put in the northern fields, has signed
the union wage scale. The Rocky
Mountain and the National Fuel com
panies declare they will fight to the
last ditch. Possibilities of a merry
coal war and a cut in prices is be-
lieved imminent. Charges that the
American Fuel Company received $780,
900 for signing up with the unions are
emphatically denied by officers of the
company. The intimation made that
the American Fuel Company would
receive $4,000 not to sign the agree
ment is denied by opposition coal COM
panies involved. The present settle
ment comes after a strike of two
years, starting April 2, 1910. 1t is es-
timated that the strike has cost all
parties concerned close to $2,000,000.
Six men were killed, ten seriously in
jured and over 100 strikers or strike
breakers were waylGid and beaten
since the strike was inaugurated. OF
the 1900 strikers still in the northern
fields it is expected that fully 800 will
be employed within the next sixty
days.
