However, government restriction
on the ure of coal will remain ii
force f r some time, for it is recog
nized that it wi!! he several days or
weeks before the need for domestic
use will be met. It is fignre l that the
strike has reduced the out put of coal
for 1919 at least 400.000.000 tons, and
it will take month of active produc-
tion to get back to normal. The rail-
roads of the country have ometUUig
like 6 000 000 tons on hand, and wih
release 2.000,000 t >ns at once. There

that we'll be able to pay for.
Thus, another great crisis, and one
of the greatest that has faced ' the
country in its history, is over and an-
other problem solved. President Wil-

New Wage in Effect
The terms for the settlement pro-
ak- vided for the immediate return to
work at 14 per cent increase in wag-

which the miners objected and struck.
Work in the mines will be resumed,
except as to wages on which the basis
