7 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. e The Farmers National Bank Bloomsburg, Pa. Quickly Wears Away.

G. IIackett, Superintendent. Coal May go to $20 Per Ton "If the coal strike continues anoth er six weeks anthracite coal will sell at $20 a ton." This statement was made Monday by one of the largest miners and shippers in Philadelphia. He said: "It the men expect to win the strike and return to work, they should not interfere with the ergineers, pump men or fire bosses. As it is they may be compelled to wait six weeks before they can return to work even after the strike is lost or won. The retail price of anthracite coal wtll probably be $12 within the next few days, and the price will continue to advance steadily as the supply on hand de creases. The scarcity is getting tighter each day, and I shall not be surprised to see anthracite coal sell at $20 a ton within six weeks if the strike continues that long." Conferees Meet Today.
