BY J. C. ROYLE. Sprcial Dispateh to The Star., NEW YORK, March 5.—Whatever the Senate committee investigating the coal strike may report, Congress, the mine operators and the miners still will face the problem of fitting approximately 200,000 men with jobs for whom there are no jobs In the coal industry. That is the situation today, according to fuel experts in closest touch with the bituminous coal situation In the United States. They feel that the situation is not improving and that it may shortly become even more acute. month truce and the I!Hm In Illinois the tween the ope wi 1 extension of the will_expire March 3 chance of a scttlement prior to that time or immediately thereafter. The operatcrs assert that this experimental return to the old wage scale, nvolving has shown that the 11linois union mines are unable to com- pete successfully with the non-union field. Since the State laws of Tilinois formally recognize the United Mine Workers, there can be no question of opening the mines with strikebreakers or non-union laborers. There is every indication that the mines of Illinots lose on April 1. greement, s little a $7.50 basic day, Towa Mines Closed. The mines of Towa are, many of them, shut down, and the strike still s progressing in Colorado, although some of the properties are being operated with non-union workers, In Ohio it is unofficially estimated that not more than 25 per cent of the mines are operating. These are all on an open shop basis. The mines of east- ern Ohio have apparently benefited from the Interstate Commerce Commis= sion’s refusal to sanction a 20-cent-a- ton reduction of freight rates on bitu- minous coal from the mines south of the Ohio River to Lake Erie ports. Several months ago the rail rates on Ohio coal were reduced 20 cents a ton. The Southern roads met the decrs but the de Commission against the Southern roads is looked upon as final. This difference in freight rates is ex- pected to stimulate shipments of Ohio and Pennsylvania coal up the lakes through the Lake Erfe ports, but the | labor difficulties at the mines are lkely [to cut Ohio and Pennsylvania produc- tion. In addition, the shipment of West Virginia coal to the Northwest during the strike, has established in that terri- | for the West Virginia prod erence to the Ohio coal Will Continue Policy.

The Equitable way is the modern way—a well planned budget for your life’s objectives. Here are two typical examples: “The first day of the month my income check is at the door, the first mail.
