The general committee of anthracite

ID which it is declared that nearly one
bird of years production of antAra-
cite has been lost" and that the pro-
ducers of anthracite are determined
that the responsibility for this deplor-
able situation shall not rest on them"
THE declarations follow a recital OF
the several efforts made for settle
rnent. including the offers of unre-
stricted arbitration by the operators and
BY President Harding. all of which. 1t
states, have been rejected by the mine
workers.
Newark was reported suffering from
the coal shortage yesterday. a survey
of twelve dealers indicated domestic
furnace and range coal were about ex-
hausted with none coming in, and there
was very little pea coal for industrial
uses.
Advertisement for bids for seventy
five tons to heat schools brought no
response. Dealers however. believed
shipments would be resumed and the
strike settled by the middle of August.

ANTI-VIOLENCE ORDER
REVOKED, BUT REISSUED
Writ for the NeU Hauen Is
Found Faulty.

NEW HAVEN. July 29.--The Federal
order restraining fifty-two shop strikers
and their leaders from interfering with
strike breakers on the New Haven rail-
road. as granted here recently by Judge
Edwin S. Thomas in the United States
District Court. was terminated suddenly
10 the same court to-day. but similar
order was issued short time later in
its place.
The restraining order was out of force
for only about four hours. A hearing
on a new motion by the railroad for a
preliminary injunction was set for
August s, at 10 80 A. NJ in New Haven.
The first order was dissolved because
of fine legal point involving the fact
that the subpoenas issued to the strikers
were dated July 20. although the date
of the Federal hearing to which they
were summoned was down In the writ
as July 10. Cornelius j. Danaher OF
Meriden, for the strikers, also contended
that the Clayton act. which specifies
that the hour Of service of subpoena be
recorded as well as citizenship Of re-
spondents. was not complied with.
c. NJ. Sheafe. Jr.. for the railroad,
said II should not be held responsible
for ''the working of the machinery OF
the court" He asserted that the speedy
settlement Of the issue WAS OF the great
est Importance as the road had spent
S365.00o for protection against shop
strikers"
Counsel for the road had ready Ia
offer nearly 100 affidavits from en-
pioyees complaining OF violence and in
timidation at the hands of the strikers
according 10 Mr.. Sheafe. These, how
ever. were not filed.
