Replying to Judge Marshall's

Judge Marshall should have read

THE admission Of evidence as to

alarmed nay moro by a coal strike,
as a. result OF the education they
received in 1923 in using soft coal

Mr.. NARROW also expressed the
opinion that the old line companies

price of anthracite more than the
normal rate of 10 cents a month
for the winter months.
Whether the distribution plan Of

Government fuel yards here are
not nearly so well stocked as they
were in the strike year of 1923,

coal was received as. compared with
