MONON STONE CRUSHER HELD UP BY STRIKE.

The Moruon Crushed Stone Co. is among the first to be hit by the threatened coal miners’ strike. Last week operations were suspended owing to the lack of cars with which to make shipments. The car famine for industrial plants is due to the demand for cars to rush coal transportation. Manager Balfe has informed the News that he hopes to have cars released in a few day#' and wants the men who have been laid off to be ready to resume work at an early date. The ban on cars is due to be removed tomorrow, November 1, and Jess York was ’ iff communication with head officials of the railroad in an effort to supply cars for the crusher. —Monon, News.
