A despstch from New York on Mon- day says that the World, of that city, has published a prediction that a gen- eral strike of anthracite coal minersâ€"â€" the greatest in the history of the coun- tryâ€"will take place within a. few months, when the agreement forced up- on the operators by the arbitration com- mission in the strike of 1902 will come to an end. The fight will be between 150,000 minersâ€"practically every man in the regionâ€"on the one hand, and the coal trust, with eleven great coal- oari'yiog railroads, on the other. The strike of 1902 cost about $50,000,000, but the “coal barons,” whose insatiable greed was, and will be again, the cause of the trouble, didn’t losc anything, as ' they were the masters. of- the situation as far as consumers were concerned, and saved themselves but made coal from one to two dollars per ton;- and, forcseeing the coming strike, they have, during thepast three years, stored as the miners quit work. The New York Woer says that “ there has never yet been a strike of Pennsylvania miners that has not been paid for. by the pub- :lie in higher prices and’ enforced suffer- ing.” It has always been the policy of trusts to saddle the cost of strikes upon the consumers. Ninety-five per cent of the entire coal field is owned by the handful of' men who compose the trust, and if the other five per cent would sell at a moderate price they are prevented by the railroads, which are controlled [by the trust, and put up freight rates ‘to probibitiive figure at the command of their masters. - Thus the “ wage slaves,” even though in the end they ,may win a partial victory, will be out of employment for weeks or months, more or less, because a. few individuals have been. allowed to “ acquire ” the supply of fuel that properly belongs to at the bare cost of production and trans- portation. lsn’tit “ time for a.- change ?” W Horse Racing; at hairs. Provincial Superintendent of Agri- cultural So'cieties H. a number. of fairs which hold horse .ruces at their fall exhibitions. As a result of a series of questions sent out to societies, it has been found that 144 Societies are in favor of horse races and n 126 against it. Many of‘ the societies in favor of horse racing believe that the ‘valueol the purse should be limited. 140 societies report that they believe horse racing to be necessary forâ€""the successoi’ their cabibtione, while 130 are not of" this opinion. In reply to a question asked the societies as to wheth- er they would consider horse racing necessary were there fewer exhibitions : in their vicinity, 1'18 societies replied that they would, while 152 stated that they would not. The value of the purses offered at the exhibitions last year amounted to considerably over $25,000. restricting the races to horses. owned within 20 miles of the fair, while 142 societies stated that they would not be in favor of such a rcstriction.‘ Quite a number of the societies are in favor. of restricting the value of the pursesfor horse races to a sum not, to. exceed one- third of the value of the total amount - paid in’prizes for all agricultural pur- poses.
