furry Of production in the mines is
of a temporary character and de-
cline to give UP their new jobs to go
back to the pits.
Production Is High.
Bituminous production, however,
rose to 48.770. 900 tons in September.
the highest point since last January
when the anthracite strike was in
full swing, and when 53,660,000 tons
were mined. A few of the mines.
which have reopened have done SO
under the wage scale of the Jackson
Vile agreement, which provides a
basic pay Of $3.50 a day, but the
larger number have opened on re-
duced scale. Others are on the 1917
scale and one non-union company
has raised wages above the Jackson
vile scale.
Just what effect the present situa-
ton will have on negotiations between
the operators and miners in the soft
coal fields next Spring, when the
present working agreement expires
is not yet certain, but the feeling
persists in the anthracite field among
the union men that the matter will
be adjusted without a strike. These
men have nothing to do with the
negotiations actively, but keep in con-
slant touch with the bituminous out
look. The British coal strike has
been in progress almost a half year
and it's outcome is not such as to en-
courage the use of strike as a
weapon here.
TheVdemand for bituminous coal
has stimulated the call for anthracite
of steam sizes and the hard coal
mines are running on high produc-
ton schedules.

MEN AND MONEY
BY M. S. Rukeyser.
(Copyright. 1920

Does the early Autumn slump at
the New York Stock Exchange fore
shadow the end Of the current cycle
of business prosperity? That is per-
haps the outstanding issue raised by
recent events in Wall street.
Here is one mans definite, unqual-
fed answer to the question.
Former United States Senator Simon
Guggenheim, president of the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Co., whose
corporate activities are considered
barometer of general business, re-
spending to my question, said:
II do not think that the recent
slump in the stock market signifies
the breakdown Of prosperity, but
merely a realignment of speculative
forces.
IT am paying no attention in ap-
praising the industrial outlook to cur
rent pessimism in Wall street. I am
Judging by conditions in our own
business, which, like the United States
Steel Corporation, is an indicator of
the general economic outlook. There
has been no recession in our orders
for copper, zinc and lead. We are sold
up for the month, and continue to at
tune production to demand. AS a re-
suit, we have no accumulation OF
stocks. AS a matter of fact, 1.-THE
stocks of the industry as whole are
low. The supply of labor is such that
copper mining companies can produce
little more than they are now turning
out"
Asked to apply his generalization to
prospects for his own company, the
former Senator from Colorado made
this positive statement:
Our profits in 1926 will be as good
as in 1925, and I expect 1927 to be as
good a year for our company as 1925"
The copper industry since the war
has been confronted with reduced
buying power in Europe on account
of economic ailments resulting from

SOFT COAL BRINGS
IN GREAT PROFITS
British Strike Responsible.
Prices Soaring on the
Atlantic Seaboard.
RY j. G.. ROYIE.


NEW YORK, October 27.-Soft coal
Is either a prince or a pauper. Right
now in some sections of the country
1t is a prince. This Is purely the re.
suit of the British coal strike. Great
Britain, even with some of the men
back at work, is not producing any
thing like enough coal for her home
requirements.
In Boston today, New River coal,
which has wide market there, is
bringing SO ton fob. cars. This is
q jump of SO cents to 81 since last
week, while month ago any quantity
could be secured at Sc a ton. On Au-
gust / the price was $3.50. Dealers
in Boston and other Atlantic shipping
centers see no relief in sight. The
runaway market, they say, is sti1l out
of control and further price advances
are anticipated.
Run of Mine SIS q Ton.
Run Of mine coal in West Virginia
has advanced to SIS ton. In the
Pittsburgh district dealers have just
announced a third increase in as
many weeks, and household coal is
quoted 81 $3.50 a ton, with a cheaper
grade at 81. One large distributor
predicts even higher prices there. In
the Pittsburgh district several old
mines have resumed operation and
are charging the record price of Sc a
ton at the tippleS for coal to be haul
ed away by truck. This is the high
est price charged at the mine in
years.
This situation is not only affecting
the consumers of bituminous coal all
the way from Texas to Maine along
the Atlantic seabOard, but is having
hao
modities and lines of endeavor af-
fecting the entire country. Ocean
freight rates are soaring higher than
at any time since war days.
Took All Ships Space.
"When ordinary commercial ship
pers sought space in the tramp
steamers which usually make the
harbors from Galveston to Boston
today, they found the coal men had
gobbled up all the space long ago."
In many ports steamers cannot be
chartered for love or money and
those with pressing foreign deliveries
to make find space booked weeks
ahead. Cargo space out of Boston,
for example, is reserved five weeks
ahead.
This situation has been aggravated
by the fact that many British tramps
which ordinarily would be following
the trend of freights as close as a
gull watches the dumpings of a
steamers galley port, have been laid
up because their bunkers could not be
filled at home ports.
It's always a feast or a famine,
seemingly, in the coal trade. While
it is admitted there are 200, 900 more
coal miners in the country than are
needed. there is now a shortage of
labor in some Eastern mines. Many
men left the Pennsylvania, Virginia
and West Virginia fields to take jobs
