THE REMOVAL OF THE CAPITOL
SQUELCHED.-Mr White rose TO privi

son and Woolever-55.
So the question was determined in the ne
gative.
This motion required two-thirds vote,
and as il did not even command majority,
the project of removal is settled.
JUDGING from the article published be-
low, copied from the 1ntlrdcite Monitor of
March 80, there is trouble brewing in the
coal regions, between the miners and the
corporations, which have consolidated the
business Of mining and transporting an
thracite coal. From present appearances
of the case there is some apprehension tina.
serious trouble is concealed in the near fu-
turc for the people Of the mining region
The Monitor says:
1--WE have on several occasions limited
our belief that the recent vast consoida-
tions of capital employed in the mining and
transportation of anthracite coal meant
to the miner and laborer, using
this fear rs text from which to argue
of the organization at The highest possible
And now there comes from re-
liable authority, from persons intimately
with the coal business, who are
SO situated as TO be able at all times to ac-
inform themselves as to the in
tentions of the several large railroad and
mining corporations, strong confirmation
OF our fears. 1t appears that it is the pur-
pose OF these large corporations to fix the
rate at which Goals is to be sold. In order
to effect this, the amount of tonnage is to
be restricted, dcpOts will be established
midway between the mines and the sea-
board, where coal is to be stocked, and
when the plan is found to be practicable,
and the supply on hand is sufficient to last,
say about six months. some of the leaders
in the conspiracy say, there is to be a
general with all concerned, to
have this question Of wages permanently
fixed" This will be the plan of operations
for next spring, or else our friends in New
Y ork and Philadelphia, as well as our
selves, have been greatly mistaken in the
the indications.
At this ijuncture, in view of the facts rs
above stated. we think it bchOoves the
of the Miners and Laborers' Be-
nevolent Association to be ''up and doing,n
TO, in the interim, put the association in
to successfully resist more de-
and better planned onslaught
than has ever yet been made upon them,
not excepting the raising of the tolls to de-
feat the objects Of the suspension OF II.
The corporations that control this re-
gion its product and its people, have fully
convinced themselves that, so long as the
NJ. q l.. B. \, continues to be the powerful
it is and has been, just SO
long will they be only sharers in, and not
OF, the profit that is made
upon the mining Of anthracite coal A; hence
they have determined TO do "all that in
their power lays towards disOrganizing
and disintegrating our association, in the
hope that simultaneous with its death will
arise an unrestricted power of aggregated
capital, backed by special legislation,
against which the miners and laborers may
rs individuals battle forever but without
avail. If however, we are sufficiently
we can still avail ourselves of the
of soon again becoming so
powerful in numbers and disciplined in or
canizatlon as to forever preclude the poss-
blllty OF any serious cntrenchment upon
our right to products of our toll. Let
every man in the coal region devote an
hours thought to the matter, and our word
for it, the hour will be much short ofeXhaus-
ton before he consents to become rs of old,
A union man, first, last and all the time"
