CBEAP FUEL AssoCIATIoN-A meeting was
neia last me- hit In The Union League rooms on
Nm ster', cai!td Tor the purpose of consid-
ering some means Whereby the price of fuel
could be brought down, and whereby other
articles OF household consumption could b.,
NOR" cheapiy obtained. There were about 100
persons present, most of whom were clerks in
order by Mr.. Norman Eastman, who nomi-
mated Mr.. :. w. Pearson as chairman of the
meeting. Mr.. w. &. Finney was appointed
Secretary.
MI Eastman stated the object Of the rnoatino
which was to have consultation and deyiss
some means whereby the necessaries of life
could be more cheafly obtained. MI Eastman
stated mat the primary object of the call was
with especial reference TO the eXOrbitant prices
DEMANDED tor coal and wood, but he ed
me plan 1or cheapenlng living in this city
might en- brace in its Operations other neces-
safles. Ear. l.. also quoted from the Baltimore
market reports, and argued that coz was sold
here 50 and S4 ton higher than IN Baltimore
20 WIN articles purchased in market. He
thought something might be done, and he IN
Nlted gentlemen to give their VS. of the sub.
iect.
MIR. Eastman further said that in his visits to
various coal offices in this city he found it was
q common thing for each coal dealer to charge
his brother dealers with giving short weight.
He thought the proper plan to be purs ued would
be to perfect an org aniZation, and let each mem
Der OF such organization subscribe for what
amC unit OF coal he might need, and then on their
own responsibility bring cargo on here. They
could have depository of their own here and
His opinion was there was a combination here
OF dealers to keep up the prices.
Mr.. q. +. Lathrop said he thought it was
na!dly necessary to take up time by argument.
All Knew there was q monopoly at work, and
he thought the question should be the inaugu.
He therefore moved the appointment OF com.
mlttee or fve to take the subject into consider.
alton and report at a subsequent meeting.
Mr.: FinneY, Mr.. Eastman, Mr.. p. s. Heath.
the Chair, and others, gave in their experience.
especially on the coal and butter Question
One OF them had nsver tasted good butter in
Washington. Poor fellow! he evidently
haen't found his way to OYSTERS stand y Onoo
recommended the butter OF St Iawreneeconn.
YIN. Y; another, bnttsr from Somerset county.
