Not until law enforcement as to stealing, short weight, false certificates and all the rest of a huge monopoly of lawless bootleg mining is employed by Pennsylvania, as fortunately it is in neighboring states, can anthracite hope to gain nearly 10 per cent of its best markets now in the hands of cutthroats and cheaters. gOMETHING entirely new and Streamlined to modern tempo will be an almost complete shutdown of anthracite operations probably from June 28 to July 7 inclusive. A decision to adopt this plan pursuant to requirements of the new Mine Workers two year contract which is to be ratified this week makes such shut down imperative in absence of emergency.

Iiooe's rataaeaa low Price VwHrw Tmt By OUeeee la meceto-taer nte praise Of TaomaamAa Aa4 comply with a two weeks vacation period for miners under the new contract the local industry may expect five day work weeks. If the future of the industry is as promising as many of its sponsors in high places deem it to be, resumption of operations will likewise mean many additional five day work weeks for late summer, fall and winter. This will mean much to the community in various ways. The application of resident miners for employment in other industries has been notable where local advertisements have appeared for skilled help to man hard-pressed munitions and preparedness industries either enlarged or created elsewhere by the government's huge demand. Statistics indicate that employment in numbers now exceeds the figures for 1929 an mil time peak in the United States.

THE muling Industry in the last decade has been in such unsatisfactory and bankrupt condition that anything like steady employment in and around our mines has been out of the (fuestion. 'That is a specific reason for so many of our employables desiring to change to other occupations which in season and out offer better inducements for steady work which means a better family income. A recent case along this line reported by the State Employment Bureau with headquarters on North Mam street indicated that almost a thousand mm worker had applied for Jobs following an advertisement ia thai newspaper for SJwtHevatta Of PweaU. i ment later on. i "THOSE familiar with the operation of steel plants, glass making con-; cems and many other types of in-) dustrial production are accustomed i to a complete shutdown for a por-1 tion of each year.

Usually this is timed to summer months. Steel making furnaces must be constantly relmed. This process keeps a stated I number of blast -furnaces out of commission for a period although not much affecting rated capacity of the industry in general. The same is true of glass and pottery making. I Upon resumption the time lost is made up, as a rule, by increased ef-, ficiency.

Our mines have not been attuned to steady production for a decade past. The anthracite busi-' rtess has blown not and cold by 1 turns. Usually cold at that, i i "THZ allocation plan, voluntarily adopted by some 90 percent of i operators last year was almost the first practical agreement ever reached ia the industry for iti own i protection in avoiding gluts of marketable anthracite moved only by disastrous price cutting. Thu plan has not as yet reacheda Veal status. But measures now before the legislature wild every promise Jt is based on many angles of tne present nationwide boom in employment Families in outside markets will have larger incomes which jvill in turn mean the installation of more mechanical coal burning appliances which today has reached such a demand that every coal stoker manufacturer has S3 percent more orders on his bookj than at this time last year.

The unexpected shortage of oil and its by-products of heating fuel and gasoline has lent much to the encouraging side of anthracite's ledger. First regarded with some suspicion, this shortage, particularly in eastern markets now seems a definite conclusion of all those concerned with distribution. It Is not a bluff, according to high authorities of government but a positive danger. Other factors, equally prom-King to anthracite are evolving. The picture looks brighter than in a decade past To make the most of present and folden opportunities is the purpose of the Industrial Fund now being subscribed and should be an impetus to the initiative and perseverance all who have an abiding confidence In the future of aaihracite center of activities.
