PITTSBURGH. June 5.-The
merger Of the approximately $40.

the Panhandle region Is nearing
consummation. The consolidation
will include the principal independ.
ent operating properties and un-

aggregating fifty thousand acres.
This will bring all the important
producing and undeveloped coal
acreage in that territory under one
corporate head. ..
Just what the name OF the new
company will be has not yet been
decided upon.
1t, is known, however. that John
Abbell, the chairman Of the Car.
negie Coal Company is favored by
his associates in the deal for the
chairma nship of the board Of direc-
tors and that J. II. Sanford. presi.

may continue in the same capacity
under the consolidation.
Merging u this vast coal acrease
has been under consideration for
some time hut because of the recent
economic depression together with
the coal miners strike the matter
was dropped. Interest was re

to push the merger proposition TO

Under the consolidation the new
company will have an aggregate

the coalition government were given by recalcitrant

1t IS realized that this settles nothing, It postponcs

LEGATION of the demand of the Indian government for
changes IN the terms of the Sewers treaty between
Turkey and the Allies. The incident is thought
likely to result in the recall of Lord Reading. Indian
viccroy. with developments in India of the gravcst.
character and unknown extent. Entering largely
into the situation is, of course, the status of the
sultan as the head Of the Moslem faith, which has
millions of adherents in India, and underneath it
all is the ebullition of a great revolutionary move

greatest anxiety,
With the month OF March nearly half gone, and
the termination OF wage agreements between min
'crs and operators in the coal fields coming at, the
end of the month, the situation in relation to the
threatened general strike has scarcely got beyond
the exchange OF epithets between members Of the
two contending groups. Strike votes arc being
taken, and, as is usual, the vote is almost unanimous
in favor of the authorization OF a strike. This does
mot mean, necessarily, that the miners wish to
strike. 1t means, rather, that the union leaders
shall be able to hold out the immediate menace of Il
strike as a means of obtaining a satisfactory agree
ment.
The secretary of labor has taken notice Of the
situation, and has urged all parties to enter into
conference in order to avoid the tying UP Of indus
try while fuel supplies are being delayed. The
mine workers heads profess willingness to confer,
but the operators indicate no disposition to consent.
Pennsylvania operators say they are willing to dis,
