THE COST OF COAL,

The wages paid to the anthracite coal
miners, OF Pennsylvania are as follows:
In the Sehuylkill region, the regular days
work is II tons of coal, delivered at the
pits mouth The men are paid by the
amount Of coal produced, and 1a tons are
as much as each miner can blast, load and
deliver each dry. For these 12 tons the
coal company pays the miner SG.G5- The
miner has laboret, and has to furnish his
own tools, powder, oil, and ali incideutals.
These cost him, for labor, s.. q, the other
expenses are 81, leaving to the skilled
miner S3.:}0.
In the Scranton district, where the strike
is now in progress, the wages paid since
last year, have been S9.17 for IL tons of
coal; of this the miner paid ?3.25 for
labor, 81 for i1cidentala, and had
$5.17 for himself The companies pro-
pose to reduce these wages to SG.0a for
the Twelve tons of coal in which case the
wages of the laborer will he So, and Of the
miner $a.02- The average number of
days in which men can work is TWENTY-FIVE
per month. In the Schuylkin region
the miner, therefore, earns S7o.G0 per
month. In the other district he has
been getting S1l3.74 per month, and it is
now proposed 10 reduce these wages to
$GG.al per month. The wages paid by the
companies to laborers outside the mines
arc S1.5O per day. These load the
cars, &c.
1t will be seen from these facts that
these severaLrailroad and minine conpa-
uies receive their Goa! at the mouth Of the
mine at the following prices:
schuslktl1 district, 1s TOES for sa.s5, or s5x
scralton district, II tons Tor salt, or TX
cents r4f ton.
Proposed 1ates, IL tons 70. sses, or 80 cents per
ton.
This coal, as it is received from the
mine, is loaded by machinery upon cars,
and moved in long traina or in canalboats
to the various markets OF p1aces of sale.
The mining companies own the railroads
and canals over which the coal is trans-
ported Allowing what is paid additional for
labor, in loading the cacs or boats, and for
royalty and interest, the coal costs 81 per
ton in the cars, and putting the selling price
at s. per ton at point 1:0 miles distant, we
have the company collecting 81 per ton for
transportation for 150 miles. The price of
coal, owing to the lateness OF the season
and the immense amount on hand has fallen
from So to 81. This reduces the profits
Oh transportation, go the companies have
-esolsed TO reduce the cost of coal.
Our coal companies are protected by
lax Of $1.40 per ion, currency, from any
competition in this business, and Ehis pro
lection is demanded, in order that they
may be able to pay their workmen superior
wages Yet, The fact is, that the cost Of
coal, at the mouth of the pit, in England,
is much higher-uearly double what is
paid to these miners in Pennsylvania. The
consolidated mining and transportation
companies Of Pennsylvania seek to retain
the enormous profits of the past six years,
and, for that purpose, insist upon a mini
mnm price for the coal, no matter what ita
cost Of production or transportation.
They must have their 1G per cent on their
watered stock, and, If it cannot be got from
the consumers Of coal, the mine1a and la
lorers must contribute to the pool.
