WARNING Of Of Coal COAL
FAMINE A 'MISTAKL'
Advertising Propaganda

FOR ALL PURPOSES

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Fcar Of win
Ter shortage of coal. which was urged
upon the public as a reason for obtain
ing next winters supply early last
summer in a series Of full page adver-
tlsements in 400 Newspapers, appeared
yesterday TO have been a mistake" on
the part Of the roal operators who in
sttuied the propaganda
According TO Edward w Saward
editor and general manager Of Saward's
journal. which Is devoted TO The coal
trade, the operators inserting the adj
/ yertlsements committed grave er-
ror' although Mr. Saward explained,
/ De believed there was no Intentional
/ deception About the time that the ad-
yeriising campaign had reached its end
/ It was suddenly discovered, so Mr.. Saw
ard said, that the expected shortage ap-
/ Piled only 10 soft coal and that pros
poets for q supply of anthracite next
winter We're brighter by far than was
the case last year But at the time
the mistake was brought 10 light all Of
The money appropriated for an adver-
and there were no funds available 70
publish corrections in the form Of
other advertisements
The editor said yesterday that the
advertisements had been written by a
man whose interests were solely with
the soft coal trade and that he had
been so intent upon warning the pub
Tic Of the anticipated shortage in that
variety OF fuel that he had entirely for
gotten the facts regarding anthracite
coal.
The anthracite operators are MAX
ing every effort 20 get coal out" said Z
Mr.. Saward yestefday "There is every
prospect that they viii keep The mines /
running during the entire winter, /
whereas last year % per cent. OF them /
were closed from Januaryi 20 April l." /
Persons in close touch with the sit /
uatiOn here professed yesterday to be /
unable TO say whether prices for hard |
coal would be higher next winter than |
they have been this summer. House !
holders have been paying in excess Of /
$40 a ton for anthracite TO be used /
in heaters and ranges
"Minter prices for anthracite coal
are fhmTily governed by Transportation
and labor conditions" said Mr. Saw
ard.
New York gets the bulk OF It's sup
ply over the coal carrying railroads 4
the New Jersey terminals. At II
present there is very great shortage
Of coal cars. Mr.. Hines, Director
General OF Railroads. has ordered the
lines not TO use the smaller and lighter
cars for fear they will be crushed be
tween the heavier cars or have their
drawheads pulled out when attached /

far short OF our normal carrying ca
pacily, for no new Steel cars have been
bought by lhe railroads.
at unquestionaby would be possible
10 make up solid trains Of these small
er type cars which would relieve the 1
shortage, but strange to say none OF
the coal carrying roads has proposed
such a remedy
"The war has played hob with the
mines Thousands Of foreign born
miners left FOR their homes and 9TH
.rs found work at higher wages in
ess lahorious fields immigration has
been at a slandstill and there have
been few newcomers in the coal min

MAKING Good ~.
IN INDUSTRY
British Employers Of Labor En-
thusiastic Over Work Done
by Women.
LOSE OUT IN TAILOR TRADE
For Some Reason Female Labor Has
Failed to Equal That OF Men
General Opinion, However, Is Highly
Favorable to the Weaker Sex.

British employers are finding that
advantage rather than harm accrues
from adapting women to mems work
A British report concerning conditions
In Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds and Bel
fast relates largely to replacement OF
men by women in industry.
In commenting on this report the
Monthly Review Of the United States
bureau of labor statistics says:
From the Investigations conducted
in private establishments it appeared
that in many cases the output of
women entering industry compared
favorably from the first with that of
the men whom they replaced. The
difference appears where no change
In method Of operation has been adopt
ed, as well as processes where subdi
vision of labor has been introduced
One instance is reported from an en-.
cheering shop in Glasgow in which a
skilled man, employed on copper band
cutting, cut an average of rs bands a
day. Under the dilution scheme his
daughter was put in his place, receiv-
ing from her father such training as
was necessary. In short time she
was cutting 1877 bands day. In the
tailoring trade in Leeds, however, IA
out of q employers reported that the
output of the women was less than
that of the men they had replaced;
of these two stated that the output
was considerably less and third that
it was two-thirds that of a man.
"The Investigators tried to obtain
from the employers sufficient authori-
tative opinion with regard to the wom-
an workers relative power of initia-
tive, concentration, self-reliance, en-
durance or staying power, conscien-
tiousness, ambition, adaptability and
accuracy to permit of a judgment
from such criteria of at least certain
elements of comparison. The results
were inconclusive, for employers diff
fered widely on all these points. APP
parently the majority of those interro-
gated thought the women had less in
itiative and less self-reliance than
men. Without attempting to reconcile
the contradictory opinions given, the
editor thus sums up the situation:
On the whole. however. 1t may be
said, from inquiries made In Glasgow.
that generally employers with expert
ence speak very favorably Of the work
which the women are accomplishing.
Where labor difficulties have in times
past been acute they tend even to be
extravagant in their praise of wom-
