manufacturing plants wt have to suspend operations for jack evv of fuel all of the companies named as aa many mally others in the city use coal which produces just as daiil much and costs a great deal len left money but today they were oom polled to buy lump lamp coal and only aa satisfactory and insufficient amounts of that they realize that the strike may bring great losses to 40 them the th fact act is ie that unless there is ie a settlement noon BUOO the city will be left in absolute darkness in a lev few nights the street MN cars will stop running and hundreds ol of persons be thrown out of
