SHOULD STRIKE OCCUR COAL WILL COME HERE Labor Problem on Great Lakes Would Be Benefit
 to Connecticut

If the threatened shipping strike on the Great Lakes materializes, New Britain and other New England cities will soon receive normal shipments of coal. local dealers in that commodity anticipate.
 Those who have been following the labor situation along the Lakes say that strike is inevitable. Should one occur, shipments of coal which have been going westward over the lakes will be curtailed almost to the extent of complete cessation of west ward consignments, and the anthra- cite will be re-routed into New Eng land. By the time that the labor difficulty can be settled, Connecticut and the other New England states will have been furnished coal in quan- titles sufficient to carry through the winter.
 Local dealers have been informed that the anthracite mines are now operating to maximum, but that no hope can be held out for more than 60 percent. of the amount of anthra- cite delivered here last year.
 October. the month in which. the greatest amount of coal is handled and delivered from the local yards, has begun with little indication of a busy month. Few dealers have an- thracite on hand and they report householders unwilling to burn bitu- minous.

 Without Him.

Mineola. N. r., Oct. Civilian M Greasy on trial for the murder of Edith Lavoy, school teacher declared on cross examination today that he believed the girl shot herself because her love for him was so great she could not bear the thought of a post poned marriage.
