The preannounced and expected advance in the price | @ of anthracite has been made--a mere trifle—-only a dollar | ‘a ton extra to all consumers, manufacturers and house- keejars alike, and that is not the worst of it. i We are told that we are rapidly approaching the) point where there will be no anthracite at any price, | that the supply is near to exhaustion, that the © L” roads | will be compelled to use soft coal or suspend operating and that we are menaced with a coal famine next winter. Meanwhile it is evident that the Coal Trust {s un-! able to operate its mines with outside labor, All the) militin in Pennsylvania cannot furnish workmen when none are to be had, and the needed anthracite cannot | be got out without making some concession to the strik- ing union miners. ‘The strikers know this and thelr Wis- content is growing more and more serious. The situation is deplorable and dangerous and there ent 4s no prozpect ef relief from any quarter. The Presid is powerless, the Attorney-General is powerless, the } tional Civic Federation has given it up, the Anti-Trust Jaw is of no avail, Pennsylvania is a trust-bound State | and there js nothing for the public to do but to grin and} bear it.

Col, Rirdofreedom Sawin should have been alive to have heard the Chautauqua address of Genoral Passenger Agent Daniels yesterday lauding Americans and their land of the free.
