natured strike ever known In the an
thracitc regions. so good .natured that
il is called suspension instead Of a
strike. began here this morning when
the miners from thc night shifts ap-.
pearcd on the surface with their tools.
They were greeted with cheers as they
wended their way home. Their action
will be followed by the day miners later
this afternoon.

month supply of coal is on hand and
temporarily they will turn their hands
to some other employment.
The rush of empty cars into this re-
gion continued unabatcd today. and it Is
conceded the shipments are the heaviest
in the history Of the trade. Long lines
of coal cars were also hauled by the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway from
the storage yards of the Philadelphia

coal has been accumulating for months

business looks promising. Whatever
the price of wool this year. you can
bank on it that it is less than it will
be next wear. There are not the sheep
TO provide the wool needed. And in
reaching my conclusion / am basing
it on government reports n the Com

Those who have kept lambs have
