These, with a great crowid of sympathizers, toures the mill distriet and some disorder followed. Foremen were assauitéd and weavers who remained at work were in come irigtahces foroed to join the strikers. There are fifly-two mills in the city and demands were made ;ast ©ctober for a fifteen per cent. wage increase. Thirty-two mills met the advance but twenty resisted and have been closed ever since. Toflay's strike is to e force a-demand for fifteen per cent. from the mills that remaineéd 6pen and thirty per cent. from those thot have been idle. It is stated that much of the output of the mills affected hag been war maierial for the government.

FIVE CARS OF COAL ; ARE COMMANDEERED, To Be Used for Purpose of Relieving Losal Fuel Shortage. , O Friday five cars of soft coal ar- rived in this city consigned to the Chaopell company, but before they ¢ould be unloaded the local fuel com- mittee commandeered thema to use at their disposal in relie the fuel shortage. This has been the largest amount of coal taken in charge by the committee since its organization. ‘The town woodyard has been doing some business durirg the first week of its existence. The sales for the first week totaled about $500, and - with wood selling at §13 a cord this means that about 42 cords have been disposed of during the week. INTERNATIONAL COAL TRADE OF THE WORLD Interesting Figures Regarding Producs tion and Exports :The proposed reduction in exportas tion of coal from the United States suggested by Dr. Garfield, will prob= ably not affect the rank of the United States as a coal exporting country, A compilation by the National . City Bank of New York shows that the United States now holds second rank as a coal exporter, though far behind Great Britain. Exports of coal from Great Britain in 1913 were 93 million tons against 40 millions from Germany and 29 millions from the United States, these figures including in all cases the “bunker coal” supplied to vessels en= gaged in foreign trade; in 1916 Great Britain 52 million - tons; U. S. 81 million tons. Great Britain, Germany ‘and the United States have supplied for many years the bulk of the coal entering international trade. The total amount of coal passing out of the ceal pro- ducing countries of the world in 1913 was about 200 million tons, of which 40 millions was “bunker coal,” supplied to vesses engaged in international trade. for their use on the oceans, while a considerable percentage of that recorded as “exports” went to the world’s coaling stations where it is supplied to steamers. The ' coal burned by Steam vessels on the oceans aggregatés in normal times about $250,000000 & year in value out of a total of $700,000,000 - worth passing out of the coal producing countries of the world. The principal coal exports of the world in 1913, including that used for bunker purposes, were Great Britain 93 million toms, Germany 40 miilions, United States 20 millions, - Austria- Hungary 9 millions, Belgium and Cans ada about 5 1-2 millions each, Neth= erlands less than 5 millions, Japan nearty 4 millions, British South Afri- ca 2 1-2 millions and Australia 2 millions. ¥ fact that a comparatively small number of countries outside of Burope and the United States have any.con- siderable coal for eéxportation has com- pelled ehiping interests to establish many coaling stations in all the world, but especially in the Orient, and the tropics off the coast of South America and Southerne Africa. Th most. important of the coaling stations aside from those of Europe are at>Al- giers. Port Said, Aden, Colombo, Cey- lon, Singapore, Hong Kong, Moji and Yokohama, Japan; Montevideo and Valparaigo in South Ameriea; Durban South Africa; Sydney and Melbourne, Australia; and Wellington, New Zea- 1and. The United States Goverhiment has established since the opening of the Panama Canal one of the most im« portant coaling stations of the world, with lafge supplies of coal in stock and the most modern facilities for transferring coal to vessels. Much of this 200 million tons of.coal exported by the seal producing coun- tries of the world goes to adjacent territoties and a smaller guantity than might be supposed over-sea, _In the case of Great Dritain for Instance, which, as already indicated, exported in 1913 over 90 million tons of coal in- ludiig that for bunker purposes. about 13 millions went.to France. 10 millions to Ttaly, 9 millions tJ Ger- many. In fact, about two-thirds of the coal exported from Great Britain in 1818, the latest normal year, went to Buropean countries and the remainder chiétly to thée great coaling stations of the world. In the,case of the United .States alse a large proportion bf the mflxmd to adjacent coun- t .. -Of the million tofi8 of coal passing out of the United States in the faical yoar 1917 over 17 millions went o Canaja, while another 8 millions passed into the bunkers of vessels engaged in foreign trade. This is 17 1-2 miillfons exported to Candda is the lavgeést in the history of our trade wifh that country, and is valued at $58,000,000, about ome-fourth of the quantity being anthracite. Italy ranks second in the list 67 eoun to which we expert, the tétal to Italy in 1916 being ‘nearly 8 million’ tons. Cuba ranks -third, the exports-to that island being about 1 1-2 million tons in 1917, n abéut one-hdif mi tons, wost of which, however, is for the coaling station at that ‘point, Argen- tina and Brasgil about three-fourths of @ millien tons each, and Uruguay 100 thousand tons. 'The quantity of coal exported from the United States in 1917 was larger in both quantity and value than in any earlier year ifn the trade. the total quantity being about 32 million tons. including bunker coal, and the total value $113000,000. In 1013, the yéar preceding the war, the %mmy -6t coal exported from the United Btates including that for bunkef was 28 million tons velued &t §89000,000. To South America the total exports of coal in 1917 were nearly 2 million tons against less than half a million in 1913. The value of coal an{l cok:‘ sent ;iut iof th% United States since the beginning o 1800 excees$1.050,000.000. : Madridyis now without light owing to the want of coal. .
