OLUME 48. -NO. 14,989. ‘The report of Labor Commissioner Wright on the coal ike brings more clearly into prominence the one lead- cause of the strike. This ts the failure of the opera- rf in all the years of their experience to establish & f-f permanent basis of harmonious relations with thelr em: | ployees. They have not only shown iheir incapacity to mee! this ordinary requirement of sound business management, | but they have steadily fought against it. ‘They have de-| Itberately clung to a policy which inevitably and invart- ably led to misunderstanding, ill-feeling and trouble. g This is not to be wondered at. ‘Nhe bituminous coal | mines of the West were operated under the same policy util the United Mine-Workers’ Union forced the opera- | © tors against their will to enter into a contract involving @ Tecognition of the union, with the result that the opera- tors are prospering as they never did before.

QUARANTINE, PEACH STONES FOR FUEL. Apropos of the numerous substitutes for coal, dried peach stones have been utilized in Baltimore as fuel, and have given satisfaction. The only objection to their use is the scarcity, says the Baltimore Sun, Mr, Frank Hall said that his family had used peach stones as fuel for years until about three or four years ago, since which time the supply has appeared to have decreased. “We used to get the dried peach stones from a Mr. Noel, who got them from the different packing-houses and dried them on his place,” said Mr. Hall, ‘I think we pald $2.69 a load for them, the load containing about forty-five bushels, The fuel was used in the kitchen and gave good results. The stones will make a quick, hot fire and one that will last, One and a half or two buckets of the peach stones will last as long as a bucket of coal. One has to be careful not to fill the stove too full or there will ukely be an explosion similar to a gaso- plosion, The proper way to op going Is to put in a shovelful at Peach stones thrown into a damp cellar,” sald Mr. Hall, “are sald to have a pec r effect on a person.
