City Coal Supply Exhausted as Strikes Threaten City
A coal shortage looms with no coal available for purchase in the city if the strike lasts. Only West Side Lumber & Coal Co reportedly has about 700 tons of soft coal, while others show empty yards. Prices rise, with soft coal at 1.50 per ton and hard coal at 15 per ton, but supply remains scarce. Factories report 1–3 months of coal in hand though utilities warn of wider outages if power plants cannot operate. Municipalities relying on public service lines fear outages if the crisis worsens.

Railroads Plan "Company Unions" as Strike Fights Persist
CHICAGO July 25 Western railroads plan to follow Eastern lines and organize "company unions" to replace striking shopmen. The move signals a prolonged conflict with workers and aims to bypass AFL charters, while the Railway Labor Board’s resolution could hinder settlement by legitimizing road employee majorities and undermining existing unions. Jewell criticizes the tactic as a ploy to erode seniority rights and union influence amid the dispute.
