A WORD ABOUT COAL STRIKES There Seems to be Little Hope of its Success as Gaunt Hunger Will Force a Break Along the Line. Many Plants Shut Down Rather Than p.,y Robb r Prices, New York, June 6 -The past week has baen a waiting one and there has been less trading than for seme time. As has been the case for some time the transactions in Sugar Trust cer tiiicates were again trie feature of the market during the past weak. The dealings in these certificates haye been as erratic as ever. There is a big gamble in this stock and it seems that tho insider's are kept posted on all matters that come up in Washington relative t> the Sugar Trust. The bituminous coal strike is still on and there seems to be no possibility of a compromise Tho leaders of th miners, Mr Mcßride, has a big con tract on his hands, and it looks as if there will soon be a break in the ranks. It is contended that it is an in justice to keep the miners from going to work when they are will i*jg to begin operations, but jnsi because a mine operator in a dis tant section of the country refuses to accede to the demands of the strikers no work can be begun un til every operator agrees to meet the demands of the miners. As it happens, there is not much of a demand for bituminous coal and in consequence of the high price asked for it, the consumers are shutting down their plants tather than to pay the high price demanded, In many respects, the meeting held at Coreuegie Hall on Fri, day evening was the most remark able and impressive of any of the demonstrations held in this city to formulate and represent publ’c opinion that we have had since toe war. The meeting was so thoroughly nonpartisan that it was deemeo best that no mau who bad been prominent in solitics in the city on either side should make any conspicuous in it, although tha: action cost us some very eloquent and powerful speeches. The meet ing was intended to be an oportu uity for the expression vs the opinion of the representative busi ness men of New York of whatever party respecting the proposed in come tax, and it was the most -uccessful non-partizan effort we have had here for nearly thirty years. The officers of the meeting were chosen because of their relations to some of the great departments of trade or commercial energy, and the, speakers were selected with the purpose of having the protest made by men who are in cluse touch with our business life. Porf. Carlton T. Lewis made a technical and financial argument, Ui-ehaps rather prosy to hear but intensely interesting to read. • gainst the proposed tax. and Mr. iohn P. Townsend, one of our tblest managers, the piesident of Hie greatest saving bank in New York State, in a carefully prepar- d speech, revealed how the operation >f the tax would rt sllv prove a great burden upon the poor and i he great body of savings bank de positors in Nev York State. These brief hints will suggest he nature of the speeches. They vere simple appeals from basi ess men to business men, and he only attacks upon the Demo- GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZ.E MADE cratic party or reference to it were those that were made by men who have hitherto been democrats. But there was another extr« or dinary feature of the meeting. The secretary had recieved more than 2.000 telegrams coining from all parts of the country, written by m n of either party, represent ing every’ department of trade and finance, representing in brief, terse sentences a well c impacted argument against the proposed tax. THE Y. M. C. A FORCED TO CLOSE ITS DOORS ON AC COUNT OF NON SUPPORT. It is a sad fact and a burning shame on the city of Rome that the Y. M . C. A . is forced to close its doors. It was the omy lustitu tion of its kind in the city, and the cost of running it is compara tively small, but it seems that not enough people in the whole city could be found, io contribute to it, to keep it iroing. Yesterday Mrs. Noble of Aunis t>n Al*, took out a distress war rant for rents due her by the As sociation, and later on Mr. John Higgins who has worked faithfully for a very small comp- usatiou (which he never got) wascompell ed to take a laborers lean on ’ the Associations property to protect himself. It is to be hopped that there may yet be some way by which matters can bn arranged and the Asjooiatiou continued, but, the prospects are very gloonu 7 .
