Consolidated Press Correspondent
New York, April 1. = Whatever
the settlement of the coal strike
may be, the effect of the cessation
of work today will not become ap-
parent on American industrial and
bushes life for a time at least 1t
is of course impossible to remove
several hundred men from a basic
industry without having an effect
upon business. Scores of commun-
tiles are dependent to some extent
upon the buying power of the work
ers affected. That buying power
will be curtailed in direct ratio to
the time that the strike lasts and
the number of men in the coal min
ing and other industries which it
affects.
Yet probably no great industrial
struggle in the country has been
viewed calmly by business men and
the general public than in the pres
ent controversy. Manufacturing
plants the country over, dependent
on fuel for their operation, are go
ing ahead steadily with plans not
only for the present output but for
increased production. Rail traffic is
increasing and the carriers are
spending huge sums in expectation
of Immediate and further increases
Steel mills, absolutely dependent
for operation on coal and coke, are
lighting new furnaces every day and
their plans for acceleration take no
account of possible check in pro-
duction.
Predict Cheaper Fuel.
Householders, satisfied that the
winter has passed, have laid in no
large reserve stocks of fuel Fac
tory heads have from 60 to 80 days
supply on hand and are confident
that these stocks will see them
through. In fact many think the
strike will iron out the wrinkles of
the situation and smooth the fabric
of general commercial revival.
These men among whom are those
in close touch with the coal COM
munities and the mining situation,
assert that whatever the outcome of
the strike. it will mean a lowering
of fuel costs and perhaps a reduc-
ton of freight rates. Which side of
the controversy is to bear the
brunt of such reduction, they say
remains to be seen
For most the coal industry has
been a subnormal spot in the indus
trial system. If it needs an indus
trial struggle to restore it to nor
NAL health, business men, while re-
gretful of the necessity, are resign
ed to see it become worse in order
that it may become better.
In the meantime, steel prices
have advanced and are being main
tanned. Further advances are ex-
pected and additional furnaces are
being blown in every day. Many
plants have reached capacity pro-
duction. Hundreds of coke ovens
are being relighted. These plants
are closely in touch with the coal
situation both in business relation
ship and in location and they are
not proceeding blindly.
Farmers Condition Better.
The improved condition of the

farmers Is clearly shown by the re-
newed demand for fertilizers Live
stock herds are being replenished
and the ranges are Offering suffi-
cient feed and water. Employment
is lettering in nearly all the indus
trial centers of the middle west and
far west The Detroit automobile
factories are employing $4,000 more
men than they were last year. Knit
ting mills are busy although silk
mills, cotton mills and wooden fac
tories are affected somewhat by la
Dor troubles or slackness of de-
mand
An onion shortage is apparent in
many cities. The failure of the
first Texas crop has given Egyp-
tan growers a chance to comete
but shipments of the second Texas
crop are now on the rails in time to
garner the cream of the prices.
Lumber demand is now ahead of
production in some sections and
building materials are facing a per-
iod of activity with better prices in
dictated. Oil production is increas-
ing and a rising price is confidently
expected. Shoe factories are receiv-
ing increased orders and many, in

world, are running at capacity and
expect to continue to do so. Milk
prices are showing a seasonal de-
crease,

study of the railroad situation OF
the country" Mr.. Graham said.
I'VE people out in the country in

priation will be of some assistance

Representative Theodore E. Bur
ton. Ohio, former senator, who led
the fight against bills which he
charged were pork barrel. appro-
priations decade ago, vigorously
attacked the item favored by the
Illinois members. He declared that
the volume of river traffic does not

Barge Line Traffic.
