So fmpressive has the volume of bus s become that laundry com- panies are becoming the ba mergers all over the country 3 business men consider that consolida- tions mark periods of fine profits rather than periods.of depression. The added business in the middle Atlantic and New England States unhesitatingly attributed to the an thracite strike. The use of soft coal has made a perceptible difference in the cleeanliness of cities in this sec tion and has burdened the air with dust and soot. Fuel engineers say that this condition is not so much the fault of the soft coal as of im- proper stoking by persons not familiar with bituminous fuel. Cleaning Places Rushed. Cleaning and dyeing establishments have felt the effect of the coal strike to an equal degree with laundries.
