Coal Now From snltzh.rn.n.

The vast coal fields OF Spitzbergen
are at last being opened up. and by
an American. John NJ. Longyear OF
Marquette, Mich. who has title to
l7O square miles from a Norwegian
company, reports that his company
has shipped $4,000 tons this year.
The Engineering and Mining Jour.
nal says that deposit OF about co..
100000 tons exists in Spitzbergen.
The mines are worked by from $50
to 300 men and although the shipping
season lasts but three months. mining
is carried on throughout the year.
But Spitzbergen is still No Mans
Land and the northern nations OF
Europe look upon Mr. Longyear and
his American company as interlopers.
In fact, Russians have already invad-
ed the company's territory and taken
away a cargo of coal. Consequently
the Americans are in o quandary as
to what to do.

Mirage Follows Earthquake

of wayfarers along the shores of
Raritan bay yesterday afternoon,
when the Atlantic Highlands as

Sandy Hook and its Notifications and
Coney Island, which are generally in
visible to most of the region, rose
into plain view, while between them
tug towing three seows in from

ingly awaiting forty or fifty feet in
the air.
The spectacle attracted much at
tention on Jersey Central train $40,

coast towns to New York, which runs
along the shore at Laurence Harbor
and across the Raritan river just af-
ter o'clock.
The passengers. many of whom had

enjoyed the fleeting glance of the
spectacle, while some wondered II
there could be any connection be-
tween the two.

the harbor. but the oldest traveller

this time of year.

of clash between strikers
of the Federal Terra Gotta
Company, of this place, and one of the
strike-breakers who are replacing
them at the plant. The four men ar
rested are being held In 5000 bail for
action by the grand jury. They are
accused of assaulting Louis Grande,
of Ala New Brunswick avenue Perth
Amboy, a strike-breaker, early yes
terday morning, when Grande was on
his way to the Federal plant. The
strike-breaker was pursued across a
creek after he had emptied a gun at
his pursuers.
The strikers arrested are: Anton
Novinski, Arvid johnson, Michael
Troyan and Albert Apolnoryzander.
They are part of the force of eighty
pressmen who left their place of work
at the Federal plant after being in
formed, they say, that their wages
would be reduced, in some instances
as much as 40 per cent. The manage
ment of the plant denied today that
there was any strike and insisted that
no reductions had been made in sala-
ries, and that only twenty-five dis
gruntled employees had quit their

PATERSON, Feb. 12.-Still firmly
insisting that the children of Pub
lie School No. 6, of West Park, must
not use the front steps of the school,
Mrs. Florence C. Bryant, principal
of the school, is defying the parents
of her pupils, who have gone out on
a strike to forbid their children from
attending school until the school au-
thorities revoke their rule. A letter
which the principal has written to
the parents states:
Your children may return to
school If they are willing to obey
all rules made by the principal and
the teachers, otherwise they will have
to remain suspended until the Board
of Education meets on February 25."
Just as persistent as the parents,
among whom are Constable Amos
Glass, Justice of the Peace Morris

will compel the principal to apollo
gize to him for suspending them, in
addition to forcing the school author
