Tho eighteenth week of the strike lias ended with miners as firmly determined as ever not. to clve in to tho coal barons. With this condition of affairs it Is not unlikely that the strike will continue all winter. A competent authority in the anthra cite trade has figured out that tho output of anthracite this year will be tho largest in any year In tho history of tho trade. The cstiinalo is that tiie production will reach nearly 34,000,000 tons and may exceed that amount somewhat. Tho basis of good government are hon esty nnd Intelligence, hut not less Is the es sential elements to successful organization, Conservative members of tho Knights of Labor fully understand and correctly guage tho Importanco of Intelligent enlighten ment on educational matters. Employers aro quietly suggesting among themselves tho possibility of a re duction in the price of labor next spring, The Influences which favor tills possibility aro not very apparent, yet there is a feeling that organized labor may find It more difil- cult to keep tho high standard next year than they havo tills year. Much incompet ent or Inferior labor lias been paid the highest wages this year, and tills evil has been borno with as much grace as possible. Phlla, llccord. There is a growing sentiment in the Lehigh Valley that thcro will be a premium on Lehigh coal before long, because the mines are getting more costly to operate and many of them aro giving out. Some attention is already being given to a sub stitute for anthracite. The Lehigh Valley Road, whoso locomotives are bull'- for an thracite coal almost entirely, began experi menting to-day with soft coal on one of its through passenger engines, and proposes to Introduce It In other engines. Tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company has been experimenting for some time with an automatic whistle, the object of which is to give tho signal at grade crossing whether the engineer is on the alert ornot. Tho device is a very simple one, consisting of a bar or leyer connecting with tho whis tle and extending down to within an inch of the track. At a point six hundred yards from tho crossing a projection is placed which striking against the lover, starts the whistle. Even if the euglnccr is asleep,the warning Is thus fully given, Between twenty and thirty railroad com panics aro introducing specflc forms of heat ing cars, and out of tho variety of devices thcro will certainly be evolved ono practic able method. Ono "system uses hot water. which Is forced through pipes, another hot air. One scheme is to use prcssnrc,and an other to uso an exhaust. The mechanical difficulties hi the way cannot be easily over come. It has been estimated that it will cost $10 a jcar per car for heat. It has been shown that fifty pounJs of exhaust steam, circulated by tho suction system, Is as effectual as seventy-five pounds of live steam circulated by the pressure system.
