In the strike situation last night the Gov
ernor said: "The State has six regiments
of Infantry, two troops of cavalry and two
battalions of artillery with Gatllng guns
in Chicago. In addition to that there are
a great many hundred deputies summoned
by Sheriff Gilbert, whom the State assisted
In arming early In the strike. Besides these
forces, and besides the regular policemen
of Chicago, there are several thousand ex
tra police who were put on duty early In
the strike. The forces, State and local,
have the situation thoroughly In hand, and
If there is no extension of the strike into
other trades the trouble will be all over In
a few days. Should the strike extend among
the other trades, it will take a week or so
longer. We have been furnishing the rail
roads prompt assistance in the way of pro
tection all over the State whenever and
wherever called on. and during the past
week have had troops at six different
points outside of Chicago, and during the
last four or five days mere ha been very
little difficulty over the State. Nearly all
the railroads that can get men to operate
their trains have been running nearly ail
their regular trains, passenger and freight."

CLEVELAND, O., July 10. The first vio

ing, when a crowd of strikers forced a
switching crew in the Erie yards to quit
work. Some of the men were hustled about
in a lively way, but no one wa3 hurt.
The railroad officials feel encouraged over
the fact that the firemen on the Cleve
land division of the Big Four have an
nounced their readiness to return to work.
The company is getting more men and ex

the help of the authorities if necessary.
The following telegram wai received

NEW YORK. July 10. Mortimer O'Con
nell, president of the Brotherhood of Sur
face Railroads, scouts the Idea of a gen
eral strike of street railway employes in
iympathy with the Pullman boycott. As to
Mahone, who, at a conference of railroad
men in Chicago a few days ago. claimed
to represent the Amalgamated Association
of Street-railway Employes, O'Connell says
he cannot control live hundred men. Oom
pers, according to O'Connell, has a very
small following here and still less in Chi
cago. Most of the labor leaders here say
the unions will strike if it seems likely to
do any good, but they are practically unan
imous in agreeing that it would not do any
good. Among the various brotherhoods in
tnis city where the real strength of the
railroad labor lies, there is a strong feeling
against any sympathetic strikes. The men
will not strike unless practicany forced to
do so by higher officials of the brotherhoods
elsewhere, and any railroad strike here
would be a farce without the support of
the brotherhoods.
Tlie Tic-rp nt Toledo.
TOLEDO, O., July 10. The second day
of the strike has resulted in a complete
tie-up of every road in the city so far as
freight traffic is concerned. The last to
come out were the men In the Pennsyl
vania yards, and they stated to their su
perintendent that they feared bodily harm
if they continued. Protection was offered,
but the men said that .the company could
not protect them when going to and from
work. The men In the Ohio Central yards
were driven out by a committee and a
small mob this morning. Aside from these
disturbances nothing of moment has hap
pened. Passenger trains are moving as us
ual on all roads save the Toledo & Ohio
Central, where there is some delay. General
Manager Hlair, of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie, will offer a last opportunity for the
men to go back on his road, and if they
refuse he will erase their names from the
company's books and shut down the entire
road until a new force can be hired to fill
their places.

ST. LOP IS, July 10. The condition of
traffic at this iint is reaching a normal
condition, on the west side of the river
and on the transfer systems the y.ird en
gines are fully manned. On the east side
the fnight warehouses this morning opened
for business and the volume of traffic
handled Is showing a gratifying increase,
the nurr.her of men at work being large
enough to more than handle the freight.
The large jercentage of new men arc
h-indlinc the switch targets, though there
is not more than a sprinkling of old men
on that side of th river. The consolidated
reports of the railroads centering here, in
cluding the terminal systems, show that
business is picking up. Not less than 12x
workmen have ben forced out of employ
ment in this city by the railroad strike.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 10. The blockade

number of days the passenger service on
all roads has been moving practically on
time. To-day freight service was rmim:d
on the Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Omaha
and other roads. The A. It. I", leaders here
declare that they are still out, and will
ftav out. and that freight cannot be
1romptly moved without them, but it is
;nown that the men are tirrU of the strike
and anxlou to go to work. The Milwau

A STRONG CHARGE. .
Judge (iroMscup's Instruction to the
CI r u iil Jury.
CHICAGO, July 10. The special federal
grand jury to investigate the strike was
sworn In to-day by Judge Grosscup. The
grand jury, which is composed of men
drawn from the counties of the northern
district of Illinois, was instructed to make
a sweeping inquiry into the conditions
which prevail in the city and the causes
which brought thorn about. The lengthy
charge delivered by Judge Grosscup was
a strong one, and directed the grand jurors
to investigate whether an Insurrection
against the government exists, and If so,
who brought it about. The charge was
listened to v.dth profound attention on the
part of the jurors and a court room full of
spectators. When all the jurors had been
sworn in they were instructed as to their
duties by Judge Grosscup as follows:
"Gentlemen of the grand jury: You have
,been" summoned here to inquire
whether any of the laws or tne
United States within this judicial
district have been violated. You have
come into an atmosphere of lawless
ness and amid occurrences that may wrll
cause reasonable men to question whether
the government and laws or the
United States are yet supreme.
Thanks to resolute manhood and
to that enlightened Intelligence which
perceives the necessity of a vindica
tion of law before any otner adjustments
are possible, the government of the United
States is still supreme.
"You doubtless feel, as I do, that oppor
tunities of life, under present conditions,
are not entirely eqal. and that changes
are needed to forestall some or tne danger
ous tendencies of current industrial life.
Rut neither the torch of the incendiary nor
the weapon of the Insurrectionist, nor the
inflamed tongue of him who Incites to fire
and sword is the instrument to bring about
reforms.
"To the mind of the American p?op!e, to
the calm dispassionate, sympathetic judg
ment of the race that Is not afraid to face
deep changes and responsibilities, there has,
as yet, been no appeal. Men who appear as
the champions of great changes must first
submit them to discussion discussion tht
reaches, not simply the parties In Interest,
but the wider circles of society, and must
be patient as well as persevering until the
public intelligence has been reachel and a
public Judgment made up. An appeal to
force before that hour is a crime not only
against the government of existing laws.
but against the cause Itself, for what man
of any intelligence supposes that any set
tlement will abide which is induced under
the light of the torch or the shadow of an
overpowering threat.
W Ith the questions behind present oc
currences, therefore, we have, as ministers
of the law and citizens of the Republic.
nothing to do. The law as it Is. must llrst
be vindicated before we turn aside to in
quire how law or practice as it ought to le
can be effectually brought about. Govern
ment by law is Imperiled, and that Issue is
paramount. The government of the United
states has enacted laws, lirst, to protect
itself and its authority as a government
and, secondly, to protect its authority over
those agencies to which, under the Consti
tution and laws, it extends governmental
regulations. For the former purpose,
namely, to protect itself and its authority
as a government, it has enacted that 'every
person who entices, sets on foot, assists in,
engages in, any rebellion or insurrection
against the authority of the States or the
laws thereor, or gives aid or comfort there
to.' and 'any two or more persons in any
State or Territory who conspire to over
throw, put down or destroy by force the
government of the.Unitcd States; or to levy
war against them, oi to oppose by force
the authority thereof, or by force to pre
vent, hinder or delay the execution of any
law of the United States, or by force to
seize, take or possess any property of. the
United States contrary to the authority
trereof, shall be visited with certain penal
ties therein named. Insurrection is a ris
ing against civil or political authority, the
open and active position of a number of
persons to the execution of law in a city
or State.
AN INSURRECTION.
"Now, the laws of the United States for-
bH. under penalty, any perron from ob
structing or retarding tho passage of the
mail, and make It the duty of the officer to
arrest such offenders and bring them be
fore the court. If, therefore, It shall appear
to you that any person or persons hava
willfully obstructed or retarded the mails,
and their attempted arrest for such offense
has been opposed by such a number of
persons as would constitute a general up
rising in that particular locality, and as
threatens for the time being the civil and
political authority, then the fact of an in
surrection within the meaning of the law
has been established. And he who, by speech,
writing, promises or other inducements.' as
sists in netting it on foot or carrying it
along, or gives it aid or comfort, is guilty
of a violation of law. It is not necessary
that there should be bloodshed; It Is not
necessary that its dimension should be so
portentous as to Insure probable success
to constitute an Insurrection. It is neces
sary, however, that the rising should be
In opposition to the execution of the laws
of tne United States, and it should be so
formidable for the time being as to defy
the authority of the United States.
"When men gather to resist tne civil or
political power of the United States or to
oppose the execution of its laws, and are
In such force that the civil authorities are
inadequate to put them down, ami a con
siderable military force Is needed to accom
plish that result, they become insurgents,
and every person who knowingly incites,
aids or abets them, no matter what his
motives may be, is likewise an Insurgent.
This penalty is severe, and, as I have said,
is designed to protect the government and
its autnority against direct attack.
"There are other provisions of law de
signed to protect thoe particular agencies
which come within governmental control.
To these I will now call your attention.
The mails are 'n the special keeping of the
government and laws of the United Stat ?s.
To Insure unhindered transmission it is
mde an offense to 'knowingly and willfully
obstruct or retard the passage of the mail
or any carriage, horse, driver or carrier
carrying the same. It is also provided that
If two or more persons con:ire to com
mit any offense against the United States
and one or more of such parties
do any act to effect the object of the con
spiracy all the parties th?reto shall be
subject to n penalty. Any person knowing
ly and willfully doing an act which con
tributes or is calculated to contribute to
obstructing or hindering the malls, or who
knowingly and willfully takes ;i part la
such acts, no matter how trivial, if inten
tional, is guilty of violation of the first tf
these provisions, and any person who con
spires with one or more persons, one of
whom subsequently commits the oTense.
is likewise guilty of an offense agaiit the
United States.
"What constitutes conspiracy to hln ler
or obstruct the malls will be touched upon
in connection with the subject to whirh I
now call your attention. The Constitution
places the regulation of commerce between
the several States, and between the States
and forlgn nations, within the keeping of
the United States government. Anything
which is designed to be transported for
commercial purposes from one State to an
other, and is actually in transit, and any
passenger who U actually engaged in any
and any car or carriage actually transport
ing eiifh raaspnepr nr thincr. or the airpn-
cles and subject matter of interstate com-
. . . .
merce. ana any conspiracy in restrain oi
such trade or commerce is an offense
against the United States.
MEANING OF RESTRAINT.
"To restrain is to prohibit, limit, con
fine or abridge a thing. The restraint may
be permanent or temporary; it may be in
tended to prohibit, limit or abridge for all
time, or for a day only. The law draws
no distinction in this respect. Commerce
of this character is intended to be free, ex
cept subject, to regulations by law at ell
times and for all periods. Temporary re
straint Is. therefore, as intolerable as per
manent, and practical restraint by actual
physical interference as criminal as that
which flows from the arrangements of busi
ness and organization. Any physical inter
ference, therefore, which has tne effect of
restraining any passenger, car or thing con
stituting an element of Interstate commerce
forms the foundation for this offense.
"Rut to complete this offense, as also that
of conspiracy to obstruct the mails, there
must exist, in addition to the resolve or
purpose, the element of criminal conspiracy.
What is criminal conspiracy? if it shall
appear to you that any two or more per
sons corruptly or' wrongfully agreed with
each other that the trains carrying the
malls and interstate commerce should be
forcibly arrested, obstructed or restrained.
su-h would clearly constitute a conspiracy.
If it shall appear to you that two or more
persons corruptly or wrongfully agreed with
each other that the employes of th sev
eral railroads carrying the mails and Inter
state commerce should quit, and that suc
cessors should, bv threats. Intimidation or
violence be prevented from taking their
places, such would constitute a conspiracy.
"I recognize, however, the risht of labor
to organize. Each man in America is a
free man. and so long as he does not inter
fere with the rights of others, he has the
right to do with that which is his what
he pleases. In the highest sense a man s
arm is his own. and, aside from contract
relations, no one but himself can direct it
when it shall be raised to work or shall
be dropped to rest. The individual option
to work or to quit is the imperishable right
of a free man. But the raising or dropping
of the arm is the result of a will that re
sides in the brain, and, much as we may
desire that such wills should remain en
tirely Independent, there is no mandate of
law which prevents their association with
others and response to a higher will. The
individual may feel himself alone unequal
to cope with the conditions that confront
him, or unable to comprehend the myriads
of considerations that ought to control his
conduct. He is entitled to tne nlghest wage
that the strategy of work or cessation from
work may bring, and the limitations upon
his intelligence and opportunities may be
such that he does not choose to stand upon
his own perception of strategic or other
conditions. His right to choose a leader,
one who observes, thinks ana wills for him
a brain skilled to observe his interest is
no greater pretention than that which is
recognized in every other department of in
dustry. So far. anl within reasonable lim
its, associations of this character are not
only not unlawful, but are, in my judgment,
beneficial when they do not restrain in

RIGHTS OF EMPLOYES.
"The railroads carrying the mails and

lawfully chooses to quit, and any con

Injury of the mail service or their prompt
transportation of interstate commerce is a

me illustrate: Twelve carpenters are
engaged In building a house. Aside from

HONEST AND DISHONEST LEADERS.
"There is honest leadership among these,
our laboring fellow-citizens, and there Is
doubtless dishonest leadership. You should
not brand any act of leadership as done
dishonestly or In bad faith unless it clear
ly so appears. Rut if it does so appear.
If any rerson is shown to have betrayed
the trust of these tolling men. and their
acts fall within the definition of crime, as
I have given it to you. it is alike the
interest, the pleasure and "the duty of
every citizen to bring them to swift and
heavy punishment.
"I wish again, in conclusion, to impress
upon you the fact that the present emer
gency Is to vindicate law. If no one has
violated the law under the rules I have
laid down. It needs no vindication: but ir
there has been such violation there should
be quick, prompt and adequate indictment.
I confess that the problems which are
made the occasion or pretext for the pres
ent disturbances have not received the con
sideration they deserve. It i" our duty as
citizens to take them up and. by candid
and courageous discussion, ascertain what
wrongs exist and what remedies can be
applied. Rut neither the existence of such
problems nor the neglect of the public
hitherto to adequately consider them justi
fies the violation of law, or the bringing
on of general lawlessness. Let us first re
store peace and punish the offenders or
the law. and then the atmosphere will be
clear to think over the claims of those
who have reil grievances. First vindicate
the law. I'ntll that is done no other ques
tions are in order."
At the conclusion of the lengthy chargf
Judge Grosscup sail: "Since I have pre
pared those instructions I have been in
formed that a deputy United States mar
shal was shot while in the discharge of his
duty. I will read the rection of the I'nited
States statutes that covers offenses of this
niture. Any person offending under the
law in a similar manner can be Indicted.
Remember, gentlemen. you hive been

to discharge a grave public duty."

"I was taken out nf my house at mid

"and was compelled to leave the bedside of
a sick wife. I have done none of the
thinps charged against me. On the con
trary, I have done all I could to preserve
the peace and end the strike. I boarded no

complaining." Mr. Hannahan Is a candi

arrested on a warrant sworn out tefora

WASHINGTON. July 10,-Although the
general opinion here among government
officials is that the worst of the labor
troubles is over and that the rioters are
now held well in hand, the President and
ids advisers assembled at the White House
this evening, where direct communication
is maintained by means of telegraph and
telephone with General Miles and other
United States officials at Chicago. Secre
tary Lamont, Attorney-general Olney,
Postmaster-general Dissell. Secretary Her
bert and General Schofield were present.
The news of the indictment of Debs and
his associates was communicated to them
by an Associated Press bulletin, and, al
though anticipated, was received with un
disguised satisfaction. Ever since the ad
ministration first made plain the firm stand
that it was taking In regard to the viola
tions of United States statutes In the
Wet the President has been in daily re
ceipt of many telegrams from all parts of
the country commending his course. The
telegrams have come from public men,
prominent business men, merchants and
others and indicate the cordial support
from persons of almost all parties and
shades of opinions which the administra
tion has been able to depend upon from the
beginning.
General Schofield was seen by a reporter
as he was going to the White House this
evening. He said that there has been no
new call for troops to-day, and that he
considered the situation better than it had
been at any time since the beginning. He
had received no reports of disorder either
from Chicago or further West to-day. Gen.
lirooke and General Merrltt, who are in
command of the troops along the line of
the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific rail
roads, have reported that they are now
able thoroughly to protect the property of
these roads and prevent lawlessness along
their lines.
Senator Hansbrough has received the fol
lowing telegram from the Governor of North
Dakota. In response to that sent this morn
ing: "Had wired the President that North
Dakota National Guards were In readlaess
to co-operate with federal authorities m the
enforcement of the laws. Have not called
for aid from federal troops. Not required
at present."
The conference broke up about 11:30
o'clock. No official action of any kind was
taken.
ANOTHER CHARGE.
Federal Authorities at Denver Am

DENVER, Col.. July lO.-If the grand
jury at Chicago had not Indicted Eugene V.
Debs, president of the A. Jl. U. a warrant
would have been issued from the federal
court in this district for his arrest on a
charge of violating Section 10, Article 1, of
the Constitution of the United States,
which provides that no State or Territory
shall make any law which will impair the
obligation of contracts. Attorneys here de
duce that Deos, in ordering the strike, at
tempted to force the Impairment of certain
contracts made between the Pullman com
pany and railiOads and that he, therefore,
violated the Constitution of the United
States. A bill was prepared by a firm of
corporations' lawyers which would have
been, placed in the hands of United States
Attorney Johnson In case Debs had not
ben arrested at Chi;:igo. The fact that
Debs has called out the Union Pacific and
Denver & llio Grande railroads here brings
him witnin the pale of this district, al
thoiiRh he, at the time, may be in another
State.

KKOKUK, July 10. The Western Union
Telegraph Company's manager, II. 15.
Davis, at Fort Madison was brought here
to-day by the sheriff on a subpoena issued
by the United States District Court of
Iowa, Judge Wool son presiding. He was
ordered to produce certain telegrams sent
and received by officials of the. American
Hallway Union. This, under advice of
counsel, he declined to do and was prompt
ly sent to jail by the judge for contempt
of court, the court claiming that the fed

Davis will probably be obliged to obey the
subooena. as the telegraph company's
lawyers have exhausted tneir remedies and
cannot longer resist the federal court.

What Is Property?
Donahoe's Magazine.
In these days when politics has become
a trade and the institution is liable to over
shadow the spiritual life, that is ever its
creator and insnirer, let us not hitch the
cart before the horse, nor concede to insti
tutions priority over the eternal mind that
evolves them.
Meeting a lawyer the other day, a friend
of ours propounded a statement of what he
conceived to be natural justice, touching
the social and industrial equities.
"Ah, but you never could get the Supreme
Court to , make such a ruling," was the
prompt reply
"But what has the Supreme Court to do
with integral, natural justice?" our friend
answered.
The man learned in the law was aston
ished. The Institution that had once ruled
in this country that the chattel slave's body
was the property of another, had evidently
long sat upon his intellect.
"Property Is a creation of law," said the
politician. Henry Clay; "that is property
which the law makes property." And yet
it is proved by history, beyond all cavil,
that property was distinctly defined, recog
nized and respected by many communities
ior before they had established any set
tled political institutions. Here was poli
tics utterly ignoring integral principles.
All honor to the institution, as the serv
ant of economic and political growth: b'.t
let r't the creation usurp the place of Its
creator. Forget not that the Legislature
does not lead, but Is led. Put not Congress
before conscience and the Individual moral
sense.
Helper In the great cause of justice to
labor and humanity. It is not Congress and
Legislature that makes you; It Is you that
make them.

Sovereign' View of the Pnnitlou of
the Pullman Company.
CHICAGO, July 10. Mr. Sovereign, of
the Knights of I.alor, said this evening:
"I think that the refusal of the Pullman
company to consider the proposition made
by a committee of laboring men and alier-
men was a disrlav of arrogance. An ap
peal was made to the company to have
the trouble Investigated to see if there was
anything to arbitrate. Kven this liberal
proposition was not considered. I think
the position of the laboring man is strong
er than ever."
When asked if he knew anvthlng about
the report that President McBride. of the
United Mine Workers, had called his men
out Mr. Sovereign seemed to be surprised.
He s?.id th?.t McBride had not informed
him thnt he intended to take any such
action. It was claimed bv some of the la
bor leaders this morning that McBride was
not ir. the city at all and was not here
last night.
Telegrams from many of the larger
cities were received at headquarters to
day. All tlie messages were of the most
encouraging nature for the union. One
dispatch from Des Moines was signed by
J. Ii. Weaver and read as follows: "The
railroad kings, conscious of the Impending
defeat, have unloaded their controversy
upon the government. They seek to place
laboring men in insurrection while they
hide their disreputable carcasses behind
the flag. While standing firm, I again
warn all you men to vigorously avoid
rioting."

CHICAGO. July 10. The Pullman Build
ing, at Michigan avenue and Adams street,
the home of the palace car companj. as
well as the headquarters of General Miles
and the Department of the Missouri, U.
S. A., Is under a strong guard of armed
men. said to be Plnkerton detectives. The
big building, which is one of the most pal
atial and elegantly furnished in the city,
has been under guard ever since the begin
ning of the Pullman strike, but within the
past twenty-four hours the force of de
tectives has been increased three-fold. At
the present time there are five or six of
them 3t every entrance to the building,
guarding the stairways and elevators at'
every landing. In addition to this they are
distributed on all floors and in every office
of the Pullman company. A stranger, es
pecially should he be not particularly well
dressed, is accosted upon entering the
building, and if he succeeds in passing the
outer guard he is stopped every few feet
by a guard. They are everywhere, and
seem to walk out of every closet and room
in the place. About the offices of Vice
President Wlckes there are at least half a
dozen of the detectives, and that official
never leaves the office unless he is accom
panied or closely followed by one or two
of them. When questioned the men deny
that they are Plnkertons, but admit that
they are guards employed by the Pullman
company to protect the building.
Attempt to Kill AVlckes.
CHICAGO, July 10. An, attempt was
made on Monday afternoon by a man
whose name the police refuse to divulge to
kill Vice President Wlckes. of tha Pull
man company, with an Infernal machine.
The man entered the building carrying a
small bundle under his arm. He asked to
see Mr. Wlckes, and was conducted to his
office, where the special officers who guard
the building quietly took his bundle
away. It was found to be a glass bottle
with a fuse attached and filled with
cartridges, iron scraps and a substance un
known to the officers. The bottle was con
fiscated and the man taken out of the
building. To-day an analysis of the sub
stance in the bottle was made and it was
found to be a dangerous explosive which
would explode with great violence uipon
the application of a gentle heat.

CHICAGO, July 10. The following state
ment was issued to-night by Chairman
Fgan, of the General Managers' Associa

cago handled their usual number of
through passenger and mall trains. Many
of them have resumed suburban service.
The number of freight trains both in and
out of the city on all lines has largely
increased since yesterday. The backbone
of the strike was broken yesterday. Near
ly all of the requisitions for men wanted
bv the different railways have been tilled.
The railway companies have nothing to
say as to the prosecution of Individuals
who have violated the laws. That matter
is left in the hands of the government.
The Association of Railway General Man
agers, this evening. Issues a bulletin to the
effect that passenger trains have been
moved regularly and without Interference
on all their lines to-day and that all freight
offered is being handled promptly with lit

were handled Into and out of the cltv and
the ceneral situation shows decided im
provement. The blockade at the stockyards was
raised to-day. -alien Armour, Swift and
Morris sent out u train of fifty-five cars
of meats. The trains went through the
yards without obstruction, being the first
to leave the city since Juiy 4. 'ine stock-

Fuel Supply Short.
CHICAGO. July 10. A piteous wall came
from the direction of the lake cribs to the
city authorities this morning. The naval
reserve was without breakfast and its
prospects for dinner were not of the best.
Colonel Schaffner sent an urgent communi
cation to City Engineer Artingstall ask
ing that supplies and rations be sent to
the battle ship Illinois for distribution
among the seventy cadets who are on duty
guarding the lake cribs and the Hyde
Park pumping station. The city engineer
ordered the supplies at once. Mr. Arting
stall said his deputies have had consider
able trouble with the water supply, par
ticularly that for the stockyards districts.
and that it was a common occurrence
for his men to find valves and gates
closed, shutting off the water supply of a
part of that section. Who Is doing the
work he does not know, tne greatest
danger he believes Is to the Twenty-second
street pumning station, trom wnich most
of the stockyards supply of water Is
Dumped. Here city police and FPecial
watchmen are on constant duty. Another
thing which threatens the water supply Is
the Droposed strike or coal miners. AI
readv the city has been obliced to send
anthracite coal to all its pumping sta
tions except to Hyde Park, where oil is
burned. Not as good results are obtained
as from bituminous coal, as the boilers
are arranged for the softer fuel. Commis
sioner Jones, of the public 'works depart
ment, said to-day that the new coal strike
would add greatly to the seriousness of
the situation as far as the city 13 con
cerned. He believes there is a large supply
of anthra-lte in the city, but admits that
if that surely fails the city will be in a
bad way.
