Boston Coal Trade Keeps Pace Amid Strike Fears
Local coal yards report full stocks and no immediate strike danger though mines are watched closely. Nearly 30 000 tons of soft coal and 2500 tons of anthracite are arriving by barge and schooner from Edgewater and Philadelphia. The Metropolitan Coal Company notes difficulty obtaining hard coal from Pennsylvania as shipments to the West increase. Arbitration is likely if miners demand wage increases, with price rises contingent on future coal costs.
