Results of the Coal Strike.

In speaking of the results of the great coal strike in the East, the Independent says: “Before the Christmas holidays arrive the vital statistics of all our large cities will show a sad increase of the death rate, especially among children and aged people. Many business enterprises must be curtailed and incomes must diminish just at the moment when the increase in the cost of living makes heavier demands upon all private resources.” It also opines that several State governments and perhaps the national may change as the result. And these are called the superficial results. The far-reaching results will be in the social and commercial life of the people.
