is the first dire result Of the coal
strike. 1t follows a drop of $780,
100000 during April, when the

Bad as these figures are. they are
nothing to what is expected to come
during June and July. The full ef-

figures only relate to goods manu-
featured long before the strike. At
present, manufacture everywhere
is dying to nothing.
Most industrial concerns started
the strike with a certain reserve
Of coal upon which they could work

from all parts Of the country show
that these supplies have become
exhausted or that exhaustion is
setting in.
