' Haturaily it will take some timelor the operators M» catch ap withtheir shipments As a principle ofeconomics so long as the demand isgreater than the supply tlte price willremain at an abnormal flgnre. ThereU, however, one thing of importance.In this connection, to be taken intoconsideration. During tb« time of tbestrike the coal handling companieshave been able to clean up as it wereand their facilities for transportingthe commodity, when work at themines is resumed, will be greatly im-proved. When operations do com-menee again it is certain that tbeoperators will go about tbe businesswith a rash for there are MXInterests now being jeopardised bythe present idleness. The roads theiselves have kwnli felt tbe scarcity ofanthracite coal as is shown by thefact that soft coal is being nsed formany purposes for the Drat time <record As a rule the dealers hamated fairly with the public, not avanolng prices except where absolutenecessary, and tbe assurance Riven bymany that when uperattonsmmrd the commodity will only be toldIn small quantities Is very enlag. The end is not yet. bnt trow Is apt to change conditions fortbe better and the people mast be con*tented to wait.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.There is a limit to tbe people'i

|M»tienoe and that has beeu reached iitbe cnal strike mtnation. The refusalof the operator* to meet Mitchell witha view of amicably settling the diffi-oalty has incensed the public. Withapparent indifferent* to other rights,the operators have surely placedthemselves in a position which rejectsno credit.

The plea is that there is nothing Uarbitrate. Without arbitration settle-meat seems Impossible. This is tbecondition at the present time, and thepublic is vainly calling for relief. Itmay be all right for (ha operators, bnlIt is not for the consumer. It thl.haoglity position assumed by tbe masten of iin- sitoatioii is continued whatla to be done?
