William H. Sherwood, ot Harford,
won tho first prize in Tho Tribune's
Educational Contest for tho largest
number of points brought in during the
month of August. A. J. Kellerman, of
Scranton, won tho second prize offered
and William T. S. Rodriguez, of Scran
ton, won"thff third prize.
Mr. Sherwood scored 221 points during
the month, or 33 points more than Mr.
Kellerman. Of these, ho brought in 114
on Saturday. Mr. Kellerman hal i)6
points to spare over Mr. Rodriguez,
who had 17 points more than Hendrlck
Adams, the fourth in the list.
Mr. Sherwood deserves winning the
best of the three prizes, for he has
worked unceasingly to increase his
score. Harford Is about thirty-five
miles from Scranton and Is a small
town, and although Mr. Sherwood's
townspeople have encouraged him and
WILLIAM II. SHERWOOD.
aided him to tho very best of their
ability in his laudable ambition to win
u good education, lie has had to scour
tho neighboring villages and towns for
additional help. From Montrose, on
tho west, Susa.'shnnna on the
east, from Riughnmtan to Clark's
Summit, lie lias travelled on his wheel
over tho rough, mountainous roads In a
heartfelt desire to not only win a prise
for the best month's work, but also to
so advance In tho list that when the
Contest closed he would be so high up
that he could pick out a scholarship
suited to his futuro ambitions and not
have to take what was left. By his
untiring zeal, he has advanced wonder
fully during the month Just closed, and
Instead of being eleventh, us he was on
August 1, he Is now sixth. Ho will
have to keep hard tit work to maintain
dls picseut position, but a young man
Ith such a liking for activity can be
i jended on to hold Ills end up to the
linleli.
A number of tho friends of Mr. Kel
lerman will be surprised to learn that
lie did not carry off the month's honors,
after licvlug led all through August
until the last day, Surprises, however,
are always to bo expected In events of
this sort.
William Rodriguez, who wins the
third of tho prizes offered, came up
from seventh In tho list of tho August
leaders, as published on Saturday,
scoring 48 points that day, or moie
than double what ho had scored pre-'
vlously during the month. Mr. Rod

SOME EFFECTS
OF THE STRIKE
SHORTAGE CAUSED BY SUSPEN
SION OF MINING.
Frederick '. Snward Expresses tho
Opinion That When Work Resumes
Consumers Will Carry Much Heav
ier Stocks Mines Can Run 1,000,
000 Tons in Excess of Production
for Perhaps Two Yoars Averago
Consumption in Good Times Is
Over 4,000,000 Tons Per Month.
From nn article on the effects ot the
strike In the New York Commercial
Advertiser by Frederick E. Sawnrd, wo
cull tho following:
Tho Bhortaco duo to tho stilko has been
perhaps 10,000,000 tons: tho suspension
having lasted about four months, ono
might naturally Biipposo that tho loss
would havo been greater, but It Is well
known that tho mines nio not worked
steadily every day In tho mouth, thero
being what Is called "short time." This
being so, when tho mines uro pushed to
their utmost, tho total could bo oven
greater than tho averago monthly output
noted, which brings ono to tho proposition
us to when tho lost tonnage, so called,
cuiibo mado good. This year tho ton
nage that may bo mined will go to moot
ing an actual demand, mid there will bo
no holding buck of tho coal supply- In
other words, anything that was formerly
closscd as "surplus" will Just rcutoro tho
market to normal conditions.
Prices will decline almost Immediately
after tho announcement of resumption Is
made, although they will not at onco
como to tho schedulo nt retail which pre
vailed last year, because every one will
think that the time Is at hand for put
ting in his winter stock, and this will,
keep up prices for a time, but ultimately
there will bo a rebound to normal condi
tions. After ono of the old-tlmo strikes,
when prices had been advanced as high
as this year, there was a precipitate de
cline early to a certain extent nnd then
a. gradual reduction to normal. Tho same
result will obtain on this occasion. Thero
is tho very solid balance wheel of a com
munity of Interests among producers this
year which Is not inclined to do anything
to put up values. In tho old days of In
dividual operations this was not done.
WILL CARRY BIGGER STOCKS.
Ono thing may bo relied upon as of
fundamental value and importance, and
that is that tho producers aro evidently
not nt nil likely to bo caught with so
small tonnage hereafter as that whL'h
was on hand nt the beginning of this
strike. This of itself will muke conditions
lively for all the unthraelto coal concerns
for some time to come. In order to do
this thero will bo tho opening up of now
collieries and tho gcncial expansion of
mining by tho larger companies, and ef
forts will bo made for a moro direct dis
tribution of tho production, so that trans
portation facilities mny bo used to tho
best advantage. Tho coal which can
readily reach certain markets will bo sent
In that direction, and thero will bo no un
necessary haulage of any of the vailctles
to other and moro distant markets. It Is
proposed, If tho plan is carried out, to
ship most, if not all, of certain coal now
going Into the territory of the other coal
roads to certain markets, thereby secur
ing tho benefit of tho longer haul over its
own lines.
Tho Reading lias advantages not pos
sessed to any great extent by tho other
regions In Its thousands of acres of coal
land still undeveloped, and in developing
this to supply the nearest markets there
will bo solved tho problem of prompt
supply to tho Atlantic seaboard cities
and towrjs, without tho necessity ot an
Increased cost to the consumer.
One thing has been proven beyond per
adventuro of doubt, by this four months'
siege, nnd that Is that what one might
call tho "invisible supply" of hard coal
was much larger than any ono thought;
even now there Is coul to bo had at cer
tain places at not much above normal
figures, and in somo Instances at no ad
vance. In New York, thero has been con
siderable suffering, from the location of
tho yards on expensive water fronts.
Something must bo dono In tho futuro to
provide moro ample supplies, in case of
any stoppage of pioductlon and delivery
from any cause. In conclusion, tho situ
ation may bo summed up as follows:
WILL CONTROL PRODUCTION.
When tho mines nro in full operation
which for certain reasons will not be in
sldo of a month after "resumption"
output for tho ilrst month of full opera
tion should nppio.ich G,000,000 tons.
Shoitngo of labor will prevent full pio
ductlon nt tho outset, and tho men will
bo "soft" after their long Idleness and
unablo to woik with their usual effect and
productiveness. After ono month of ex
ceptional tonnage, movement by rail may
become congested and tonnage fall to be
tween 5,000,000 and 5,500,000 ton3. Aftor
that it should run steadily at very nearly
5,000,000.
Tho averago consumption In good times
has been shown to bo a llttlo over 4,000,
000 tons per month. Owing to tho short
age caused by tho strike, bituminous coal
was substituted for somo anthracite re
quirements, and thus tho net shortage
nilslng fioni strike probably docs not ex
ceed 7,000,000 or 8,000,000 tons (to Sept.
1). To this, however, for, tho future, must
bo ndded the coal which will bo hoarded
by consumers 10,000.000 tons nnd deal-ers-3,000,ono
to 1,000,000 tons against an
other Interruption of supply, making n
total of fully 20,000,000 tons. It can safely
ho said, therefore, that tho mines can run
nt I,0j0,0u0 tons a mouth In excess of ac
tual consumers' requirements for at least
twenty months, or oven say two years,
to come, Thero will bo no dulness or ox
icss of supply over demand at any tlmo
during 1903 or 1901 unless tho political
campaign In tho latter pait of 190t intro
duces alarming features. Normal ton
nage frtr a series of years should bo vory
closo to 00,000,000 tons per unntim actual
shipments, hi gross Ioiib, us per tho usual
table. .fl ,.
Prlcesjuftor resumption will, nt whole
sale, bo as determined In tho spring. Ad-
We will offer fancy Delaware

ing people who go regularly from New
York to Chicago and vice versa several
times a month, who have never gone
over any other road but tho Luke
Shore & Michigan Southern, because
this road is good enough for them. It's
good enough for anybody, tho fastest,
safest, most convenient and most com
fortable road in America. Once you
travel over the Lake Shore and you will
not want to experiment with tiny other
road. People who know the comforts
nnd discomforts of traveling, and what
they have a right to expect, always
Insist on their tickets reading by way
of the Lake Shore. So should you.
