THE UNREDEEMED ITALIAN PROVINCES
Their suferings and Struggles Have Been Acute
By VINCENZO DE SANTO, PhD.
Formerly Editor OF the Tribuna Rome

The Austrian nation consists OF
twelve distinct races. each one OF
which is more or less hated or dis
liked br the others. The revolution
AIRY wave that swept over Europe In
the middle OF the nineteenth century
made the emperor lose some prov
inces. but this loss did mol affect The
empire seriously because the lost
provinces were replaced in 1909 with
the annexation Of bosnia and Heroego-
VIVA.
The question that comes naturally
70 ones mind at This point is: by
what virtue or what art did Francis
Joseph hold unto all the different peo-
plies that compose his empire? There
can be only one OF two general an
Swers 10 this question. One. that the
Flennese government has treated IT'S
subjects so we'll that il made them
willing 10 remain under its rule: the
other, that il has compelled them
by force 10 accept It's laws.
The Austrian policy in The italian
provinces has been always intrn'ion-
ally hostile tn III" Italians.
What Austria tried 10 do. in fact,
was 10 force the Italians 10 G"rmanlZr
themselves. Every means imaginable

papers and magazines were suspend

thousands of Italian patriots were

COAL DEALERS HERE
FORWARD REPORTS
IContinued from First Page.1 ]

coal, DIR. Garfield. it is expected, will
take prompt measures to remedy
the situation.
Dealers declare that the reports
show nothing of startling charac-
ter. In the opinion of several local
coal men, the anthracite product
cannot be sold here at a lower figure
than the one now in force.
Our report shows nothing un-
usual" said one dealer. You may
say, however, that coal is being sold
at a reasonable price in Harrisburg,
considering the price we have to pay
for it at the mine. The Govern
ment Commission permitted the big
operators in one instance, to add 80
cents a ton. Independents were al
lowed to add another 10 cents, and
the brokers, instead of charging a
profit of ten cents, are permitted to
charge 90 cents a ton.
Delivery Mounting
Delivery charges" continued the
dealer, ARE steadily mounting. 1t
costs every coal man in this city
from $40 to $1.75 a ton to deliver
coal. This includes screening, but
will not cover all of the overhead
expense involved A double team
costs from Sc to $3.50 a day. Corn
to feed that team costs about a dol
lar a day."
When asked about the likelihood
of local men being able to secure
enough coal to meet the needs of
this city from the big operators, one
dealer exhibited a letter from the
Susquehanna Coal Company, stating
that because of the Pennsylvania
Railroads priority order, they were
able to secure but 20 per cent. of
the cars needed. UNLESS these con-
ditions are changed" remarked the
dealer, you can see what may hap
pen. Before the Commission took
a hand, we were compelled to pay
brokers as high as S1.25 a ton to
secure a supply of COAL
When asked if. in the opinion of
dealers, the present prices can be
maintained. the statement was made
that at prevailing prices, some deal
ers may not be able to continue in
business. THE cost of delivery is
so high that dealers are not making
the profit they deserve" was the
statement.
