To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of course these orders are not responded to promptly, and the clamor increases. Agents are sent to the mines, ofltering two prices for coal; the miners catch the contagion, and the result is either a strike or a decrease in production with a view of forcing an advance. I give it as my opinion that the mines of Iowa are suflSciently devel- oped to meet promptly the present legitimate demand of the State. I also think the trunk lines of railroads have plenty of cars to distribute the product as a... rule; but when the busmess of the entire year is crowded into two to four months, no coal operator can be prepared to produce^ or railroad company prepared to haul it off j fast enough. Were it possible to meet the demand at such a time the business for the entire winter would be disposed of in sixty days or less. As it is not possible and is not done, the cry of coal famine goes up from one end of the land to the other. The result is a real coal famine instead of a fancied one. Prices are run up to di piratical point, miners be- come demoralized and make demands which no regular business could concede, and if conceded the output is reduced to a minimum by the miners lor the double purpose of continuing the high rate and if pos- sible to raise it still higher.
