coal users would be compelled to pur-
chase the smaller or steam sizes Of
anthracite. This would cut deeply into
the city's coal supply, Mr. Hale said
and probably bring on midwinter
shortage.
According to Mr.. Hale, between
thirteen and fourteen millions of tons
OF anthracite and six million tons of
6ltuminous are burned here annually.
Inc bltuminous coal, he said, is used
by many public utility corporations
"hlch are able to take precautions
against violating the city's anti-smoke
ordinance.
Soft Coal Users Fortified
Mr.. Dexter declared users of soft
coal in this city would not suffer ma
terlally because their supplies have
been contracted for and would be de-
llVered from the reserve now at the
mines. The anthracite situation, he
said, was extremely favorable, due to
the slight demand and steady mount
ing OF the reserves. The Delaware &
Hudson Company alone, he said, has
between 100000 and 100000 tons, which
could be shipped here in short order.
The tendency of the people Of the
city to take the strike with no con-
Germ IS not based on good foundations, y
Mr.. Hale continued. "Throughout the
country S5,000,000 tons Of bituminous
coal were used last year, compared to
99,433,O00 tons of anthracite, a ratio
OF almost six to one.
1T must be remembered that the
railroads rely almost exclusively on
bltumlnous coal, while most Of the big
manufacturing plants also burn it. The
railroads, it has been estimated, have
a ten days supply. J 0 guard against
stopping of rail traffic because of the
strike, the soft coal now being shipped
IS being seized by the government to
be used by the railroads. This has hap
pened in Indiana already, and l believe
1t has begun also in Ohio. There is
nothing illegal in this procedure. 1t is
generally recognized that railroad
te-up would be tantamount to a ma
tional disaster"
Utilities Have Large Supplies
Mr.. Hale said that most of the public
utility companies have reserve sup
plies of soft coal, citing the Edison
company, of Chicago, which has enough
to last from one to two months.
The price of bituminous coal will
advance at least 81 ton at the mine
and perhaps SO to the consumer, if the
operators surrender Internationally to
the miners, Mr.. Hale said. The price
or soft coal, at the mine, ranges from
81 to $3.50.
For the operators to enter into a
two-year agreement at this time. Mr..
Hale continued, would mean d recur-
renee of the present crisis in Novem-
Der, 1921. Operators are coming to
recognize, he said, that agreements
should expire in March or April, when
refusal of the demands of the men
could be fought out without hardsh
to the public.

Largest Steel Plant
In World Is Reopened,
With 800 Men at Work.

CHICAGO, Oct. ~27.--The Indiana
Steel company's rail mill at Gary,
which is said to be the largest in the
world, resumed operations to-day for
the first time since the steel strike
started. Plant officials reported that
300 men were operating the mill, as
against normal force of 700. Labor
leaders declared the plan to start the
mill was only "camouflage, such as
has been resorted to in other plants" !"
Sixty women pickets were on duty
about the Gary plants to- day. Colonel
W. s. Mapes. who is in immediate
command of the troops there, issued
an order for the arrest of the leaders
of the women, who. he said. ARE

Jones last week"
News that the radicals were plan
ming to hold series of meetings in

order be rescinded. There was no in

In a statement issued to-day Ellis
Searles, editor of "The United Workers
Journal" reiterated that the miners
"are ready and willing to negotiate
new wage agreement before Novem-
ber l." He charged that thus far all
pressure has been on the miners and
none on the operators.
Should the strike go into effect next
Saturday. Mr.. Searles said. every or
ganized bituminous coal miner in the
United States would cease production
of coal and large number of non or
ganized miners would join the strike.
He estimated that between 100000 and
100000 men would walk out, and added
the government estimated the shut
down would cut off so per cent of the
bituminous coal produced in the United
States.
The strike, according to Mr.. Searles
would affect the partially organized
fields OF Central Pennsylvania, parts of
West Virginia. excluding the Pocahon-
tas field, which is not organized; por-
tions Of Eastern Kentucky and Tennes-
see, Alabama and Colorado and all of
the 100 per cent organized fields, which

Western Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Montana and Washington.

Way to Peace Suggested
"Ttere is even yet way in which
this strike may be avoided" Mr. Lewis
added The government should assem-
Bile the coal operators and use its pow
er and influence to get from them for
the miners q just consideration of their
demands. An agreement could be
reached within three days if the coal
operators would approach the question
in good faith and with open minds"
Mr.. Lewis said he was "astounded
to know of the action which the Presi-
dent has taken," and expressed the
opinion that it is without precedent
and, in so far as | am aware, without
warrant Of Law
president Wilson is incorrectly in
formed when he says the proposed
strike was not taken by the sanction
Of the membership Of the United Mine
Workers of America. The Cleveland
convention in September had 2,044

There Is that everlasting appeal to
people to get hobby. 1t is all very
well for the writer or speaker to pre-
pare his lobby sermons, but, like POr-
tia, 1t is easier to tell twenty what is
good to be done than to be one of the
twenty to follow their own teachings.
A hobby is most cOmmendable
thing. But most hobbies are expensive.
The best thing to do Is to plan out a
daily routine for yourself where you
know every hour where you will be
and what you are going to do. There
should be no idle or haphazard hours
at all. These are the hours which
make you nervous, allow you to think
Of yourself. and which the preachers
OF the hobbies would therefore have
you I'LL with your "hobby."
Vacant, restless hours, If you have
no hobby, can be filled with reading
good books, calls on the sick, calls on
the places of interest in your city, and
with all such things which cost little
or nothing. In this day Of great needs,
when letters and packages are enjoyed

How Snow Is CoIored.

A study has been made by Messrs.
A. N. Winchell and r. r. Miller Of the
University Of Wisconsin Of a shower
Of dust which discolored falling snow
at Madison and elsewhere. According
to somewhat scanty reports this col
Ored snow covered an area of at least
100000 square miles and probably
much more. The total quantity Of
dust Is estimated to have been at least
100000 tons, and may have greatly
exceeded this, perhaps, even amount
ing to hundreds Of millions of tons. A
study Of the character Of the dust and
of the attendant meteorological condi-
tons leads to the belief that the dust
was blown all the way from the arid
regions in the far Southwestern United
States, and was therefore transported
1000 miles or more.

According to James Curle, who has
discovered some old caves and houses
In Scotland, life In two-by-four fiat,
with the janitor on a strike, Is bliss
compared to what people used to put
up with. He has found several large
caves In Scotland which were used as
houses, a couple of thousand years
ago, before modern conveniences were
invented. In other places the houses
were built underground. Many relics
have been left in these dwellings.
There are weaving combs, whOrls, and
spindles used by the women, enameled
brooches. pins, and colored glass arm
lets with which they decked them
selves. Women's and children's shoes
were also found. Besides these are
household utensils, wooden dishes and
spoons, stone lamps and platters, and
pottery Of various kinds. The men
have left tools and weapons, plows,
picks, and rakes, made Of deer antlers,
wheels Of carts, harness mountings,
and large decorated swords. Prof

were once in possession of the country
taught the people to make all these
