CITY HAS COAL TO
LAST SEVERAL WEEKS
City und public utility officials in
Philadelphia were optimistic yesterday
that the strike of railway employes
will not seriously affect the Industries
nud institutions here within thp time
pstlmnted to be neccsarv for u settle
ment nf the labor difficulties.
It was learned that in all its insti
tutions, including the water works,
hospitals and other public buildings,
the city hns on hnnd sufficient coal at
present to keep pumps and boilers going
for at least n month.
Public utilities nlso are in fur better
shape than hud been expected to
weather the storm of a strike. In nil;
dltlon to supplies now In hand lurge
shipments of con! aro on their way
to this city by water and roil.
Kvery effort Is being mad." hy the
railroads to get through these coal ship
ments so that In event of the strike as
suming greater proportions, it will bo
possible to continue the operation of
public utilities and of governmental in
stitutions. H. P. Hodine, prpsldent of the Tufted
Gas Improvement Co., said today that
the company had n sufficient supply of
coal to care for Hh needs for the next

if the i-sue is an important one, if

then there ought to have been co-operation

MM passed the buck back and forth
until the railroad brotherhoods' load-
rs, who stood by the nation In the coal
strike, have been placed In the eyes
of thp followers in the light of timid and
iiipflectivc compromises.
The question where the money is to
I come from to pay higher wages if higher
wages arc to lie granted is one that
mlchl have been settled by an ogree-
ment between the administration, the
railroad managers and Congress, all
sharing in responsibility for the added
burden of increased freight rates upon
the consumers. No one has had any
Idea except to pass the job .on to some
one else, while the men, seeing t.othlng
done, have grown angrier and angrier.
H.tdlcallsin and Its Possible Sequence
There is doubtless truth in the lew
that this strike is the result of radical
agitation. The radicals have been busy
fomenting It. Hut they would have met
morp difficulty if the governmpnt and
the railroad managers had had a policy
of sustaining the moderate leadership

Dean John Frazcr Issued a statement
this morning, making It clear that the

"The students are not to be con

said. "They have regnrdpil their
