 SEATTLE, Feb. 5.--While there seems no hope of averting the gem eral strike in Seattle, there are ru- mors in circulation this afternoon that it will be of short duration. It is said that the Central Labor Coun- cil may make the strike only 24- hour affair This, 1t is argued by the more conservative members of the unions, would demonstrate the support of organized labor for the striking shipyard workers on the one hand and give an republication of the power of organized labor.
 Z It is known that the sentiment of organized labor is by no means unap- imously in favor of a general sympa- thetic strike, and the fact that at least two of the International Unions have gone on record against one Is having it's effect.
 It is rumored this afternoon that the Federal Shipping Board may take action tonight towards settling the shipyard workers strike, by granting their demands in wages for the pur- pose of averting the threatened gen eral strike.

WINTERS COAL SHOULD
BE ORDERED AT ONCE

Coal dealers are endeavoring to i'm
press on their customers the necessity
for placing orders Immediately for
winter requirements. This applies
equally to anthracite coal, the kind
used in the average home, and to the
consumers of soft coal, whether they
buy in large or small quantities.
1t is declared by those who supply
the coal that if the demand is put off
too long and if the orders come with
a rush at the time when the fuel is
needed most urgently, there may be
difficulty in filling the demand. Then
the dealers may be swamped, with
only limited amount of coal, and in
that event the price is bound to take
a jump. This may work a hardship,
but it is a matter which the dealers
are powerless to prevent.
Coal, like all other commercial COM
,modities, is dependent upon the sup
ply and demand for the price. Unless
consumers take immediate steps to
have their wants filled the chances are
that later in the year they will have
to pay more for the fuel.
These conditions have been brought
to public attention frequently in the
past few months, The railroads at
present have only limited amount
OF rolling stock to divert to the hauling
Of coal. This is being used now to
its capacity in stocking up dealers,
but the roads are able to bring in only
sufficient coal to meet the orders al
ready placed or the contract require
ments, in the case of soft coal.
Comparatively few of the coal mines
are working to capacity, either in the
soft or hard coal fields. This is due
largely to the lack of miners, many
of whom were drawn into war service
and have not yet gotten back to their
regular avocation. If this condition
should continue long or If any con-
siderable number of miners should
fail to go back, it can only result in
a lessened supply of coal
Hard coal is now at about the cheap
est price which will prevail during
the year.
