They want coal, -and they must have the contracts filled. If the Dominion Coal company cannot supply them, they will have to go te American firms. Of eourse, they say, the American product will cost dearly-if they make a year's contract, but a large reduc- tion will be made if they sign over an extended period. Should some sort of settlement not be reached soon, the big coal buyers of Canada must go across the line for their 1910 supply, which will mean a loss to the Domin- jon Coal company in the St. Lawrence next season.
