I, That the Trades I'nlon Ctrgrosj does not regard the eonl strike crlslil as a paramount Issue was apparent When the opening day of the meeting at Portsmouth passed without i rlnab official mention of the strike. The meeting was attended by nearly a thousand delegates, representing A.eUO, 000 workers. J. H. Thomas, president of the con gress, reviewed the industrial outlook, saying the evidence tended to show that the winter In many respects would be harder than has been experienced in years, but he did not cite the coal strike as part of the evidence. Mr. Thomas said he did not believe the workers were anxious for a fight against the capitalists merely for the sake of flfthtlng. - hut thnt "the other side" must clearly understand that labor will be prepared to accept any Challenge of Its Industrial freedom.

At least forty collieries of the anthracite region which have been shut down since the "loca tion" of KiO.OCiO miners began last Wednesday may resume operations to morrow. It Is thought tho remainder will start Wednesday or Thursday. This belief has arisen from the fact that nearly a score of local unions In the district have voted to go oack to work. These thousands of men are not awaiting the President's decision on the reopening of negotiations, nor do they earo what nctlon the Insurgents tako at a meeting in this city to-morrow. It is a certainty that the Insurgents who called the "vacation" will vote to relurn if President Wilson reopens ne gotiations. If he does not, that Is an other matter. Bggef optimism prevails in the three districts and business men are already preparing for heavy busi ness which they expect will follow the present period Of depression.

"By a certain process, heretofore kept a secret during the war, this coal, which is something like pea and which has been Considered refuse, may be combined with petroleum. The particles are suspended In the liquid by colloid chemistry and it is burned like oil. Ita chief value lies In the fact that tho petroleum Is used after gaso lene, kerotiena and other products are extracted from it.

Coney Island entertained the smallest crowd yesterday of any Laitfit D: hi eight years. Fewer than ifiO.OlM) per sons visited the resort, and the conces sionaires said last night that they esti mated their business losses since the be ginning of the Hrooklyn Rapid Transit strike at between tl.too.009 and j:.nu() 000. Usually a Sunday or a holiday means receipts of from $500, nuO to Mi. 000, but the crowd yesterday did not spend anything like that amount. The majority of those who went to Ihe Island yesterday used the Brighton Beach elevated line and the Smith street surfaca line both of which gave almost normal service throughout the day. At the Smith street terminal at the Island passengers handed their fares to Inspec tors who stood at the end of lines roped off on both sides. This waa partly to handle the crowd and partly to Insure that a few of the nickels should go Into the coffers of the company. Most' of them. It la said, have heretofore gone into the pockets of the strikebreakers, to whom the register meant nothing. Several thousand persons went swim ming during the day.
