The New York Tirrhld yesterday
printed the following dcsphiI-h from
Wilkesbarre, Pil.’ . . "
All the contracts between the indi-
vidual anthracite operators and the
coal cuIrying railroads me to no set
aside and the mine owners announce
that here-after they will exact the high-
est price they can obtain for their pro-
,duct.
Their example will be followed by
the.I independent operators, such as
Coxe Brothers & Company. who have
had no contracts with the railroad
companies. but have nevertheless been
selling their product at the tldcwater
schedule established by the companies.
F I‘aotr New York city this schedule is $5
on.
What effect this new move will have
on prices at retail cannot be predicted,
but probably it Will be the cause of a
further advance if consumers can be
made to pay more than they are now
paying
The individual operators, who admit
deny they are seeking to advance the
cost of coal to consumers. and say they
want merely then share of the enor-
mous pIoiiis that are being made by
retailers.
THE CITY'S COAL SUPPLY.
About fiftren or twenty per cent. of
the coal sold in New York city comes
from independent chillers. but the
greater part of it has been handled by
the railroads.

fully for any losses they incurred dur-
ing the strike
.Tu the opinion of men who are famil-
iar with the situation reduction in the
price of coal can be brought about in
one way onlv. They say it is within
the power of the coal carrying roads
which sell their product in New York
city to break inc retail price and out

Ioa‘l finds II market. . '
All that is required to bring about
the break. according to men who are
thoroughly conversant with the much—
lnory by- which an I-gcite is conveyed
from the mines tot terousumer. is for
the great coal companies to adopt the
plan which has been enforced lud’hil-

by the his: operators When work was

The dealers were informed that they
would not be permitted to raise the
retail price above 8 6.75 a ton. and that
if this rule should be violated. the of-
fender would be permitted to purchase

COAL COMMISSION MEETS AGAIN.
M
SIdo of the Noannlou Men Being
Heard Today.
PHILADFIJ’HIA. Jun. 6«lts holiday
recess being at an end; the anthracite
coal commission resumed its sessions
today. it continued hearing the non-
union men’s side. it is expected that
fully a month will be occupied in tak-
ing the testimony of the non union
men and the coal operotms, and then
that of the mine workers in rebuttal
When the commission adjourned at
Scranton the miners hail closed their
case and the pun union men were en-
gaged in presenting their case. Up to
the holiday recess counsbi for the non.
union menhad consumed about three
days in having witnesses testify to
acts of violence, boycotting and intim-
idation attributed to the members of
the Miners Union. The. witnesses were
principally from the vicinity of Scran-
ion and Wilkes llama.
it is related on gooIlIauiiIorily that II
New England farmer, who had spent a
life time trying to eke 'out II scanty liv~
lug among the rocks and hills of that
locality, finally gave up and went to
heaven. He had such a hard time on
earth that ho was shown special atten-
tion in heaven. and St. Peter took him
under his personal guidance while
they went out to see the sights. At a
certain corner of the golden street they
come to II mun chained to an alabas-
tcr post. The overworked farmer ask—
ed: "Why do you keep him chained?“
St. Peter replied: “We have to. The
darned cuss is from South Dakota. and
wants to get back. "—1413.
