COAL PRICES IN
 THE MIDDLE WEST
 AT LOWER LEVELS

Chicago. Nov. 22-(By the A. P1- Expectation that some coal operators would recoup their losses in recent coal strike through increased prices a belief given wide publicity at the end of the strike when one or two operators were quoted to that effect has failed to rnateria1ize, according to a survey of fuel conditions in mid dle western states.
 The wide publicity, combined with an unusually warm autumn, discour- aged buying by domestic consumers to such an extent that there has been a noticeable drop in prices. This is particularly noted in those coal pro- ducing areas where freight rates for short haulS are not a major factor in setting the retail prices.
 Typical of the general trend, ac- cording to Robert MediIl, state fuel administrator of Illinois, are prices at the central Illinois mines. Immed- lately after the strike the operators quoted screenings, their lowest grade coal, at from S3.25 to SS.75 at the pit mouth. Last week central Illinois screenings were offered as low as S1.50.
 Similar price reductions are re- ported from several sta-es. In Kan sas dealers are selling coal at one to two dollars under last years prices Indiana, Missouri and other states re- port lower prices.

 Other effects of the industrial de- pression, from which the country is now, happily, recovering, according to MT. Parker, are that friends and relatives of needy families are less willing or able to assist those in trouble; this he said will throw an increased burden on the Charity Or EaniZation society.
 Also bread winners have been sap ped of a large part of their energy and enthusiasm possessed in better times. Men slightly or seriously handicapped, mentally or physically. said MT Parker. who during periods of prosperity have had steady work. will find unemployment difficult or imp ossible, he said. He also declared that all these factors make for a gen eral irritability in family life. MT. Parker added:
 "A serious situation has arise by mothers of large families going out to work in order to remove past in debtedness the children having been left at home unattended Many cases of incorrigibility, truancy and thet. have already been brought to the at- tention of the Juvenile Court for these reasons, and unless something is done to remedy these adverse con ditions of family life. there is grave danger for the future"
