The hopes of 175,000 striking miners and millions of coal consumers sughout who are paying outrageously exorbitant prices for the coimodity were quenched by the‘answer.

His eyes twinkled and, laughing heartily, he said: “I didn't know there really was a Peter Power.” “Now, will you tell us about the steamship combination?” put in a ques- tioner, tryink to force Mr. Morgan's good humor, “Not a word,” he said, relapsing into his curt manner. “You can stop wasting your time trying to interview me.
