The strike was a pretty costly enter- prise, not considering the anthra- cite end of it, which has not been settled at this writing, but has swelled the total coal expense about 50 per cent already. If the miners lost $559 each,.as estimated, it will amount to more than half of their average annual wage, which is $1,043, Mr. Hon: nold, however, does net take into ount any speeding up of mining, which may take place, to make up for lost time.

There are many indi- cations of shortage in the supply of bituminous and antracite coal‘ from the United States on which Canada, under normal conditions, depends exclusively, and in the event of a continuancy of the coal and railway difficulties in the United States, a strong demand for large supplies of English coal from Canada will doubtless soon have to reckoned with, Conicident with the inquiries from America, there is a growing demand from Germany and the Scan- dinavian countries for Northumber- }land, Durham, Yorkshire and Scot- tish coal. | These are markets in which South | Wales competes only to an insignifi- cant extent, but the more the north- NEA Service) tT igging that 63,000,000| It’s | accent on the second syllable. | ern coalfields export to the Continent favor will increase as summer| tony of coal. | It means—to make love, especially bathing season ends.

Washington, Aug. 29—Discipline in the G. O. P. has gone to the dogs. Republican leaders in Congress are looking around for a new Simon Le- gree who can whip obstreperous con- gressmen into line. The trouble is that so many stat men are back home fixing their po- litieal fences and building cyclone cellars for November that party lead- ers can’t get a quorum in the House. Even the official whose duty it is to round. them» up—a party official called the whip—jumped the reserva- tion’ himself! . When ..the House’ reconvened after its recent recess there was no quo- rum, nd even Harold Knutson of Minnesota, the G, O. P. whip, was definquent. Immediately there was talk of ousting him and naming a new whip. Sidney Anderson, also of Minnesota, was suggested. “Nothing doing,” said Anderson. Anderson felt he couza't discipline others when— “T've got to go out to Indiana in a day or two,” he said, “and ‘I think I'll just go on out home while I’m about it. Anyway, there’s nothing we can do here in a legislative way that will help our chances in Novem- ber. We may as weil go home and look after our own campaigns.” That's the way four-fifths of House members feel about it. They used to toe the mark when the whip cracked the party lash. But now they fear the folks at home more than they do party discipline. “The party can take care of itself in Washington,” they say. “We've got our own worries back home.” Leaders say the House has nevey ‘No, no; but dressed up andy was going anyhow — possibly 2 | : chance remark of Miss Norbury’s | been so split as it is now over im- should not be the hands of a mani- cured gentleman.
