the prices OF coal fixed for tho month Of
September their wages Will bc reduced about
fifteen per cent below the rates paid them In
August All engineers, bosses 1remen and outside
hands will be reduced from twenty per be-
low the wages paid in August The Lehgh Valley
Railroad Company makes no reduction in their tolls or
ircights from the mines Penn Haven consequently
the operators pay much freight before tho de-
cline In coal The only reduction madc is in tho tolls
between Penn haven and Perth Amboy. The rate now
fixed Tor the month of September is 81 % per ton.
Tho men, approaching the situation, accept the
terms offered them. They have been working only
from onc-quarter to one half time for several
months past. and II the reduced prices of coal
should increase the demand, as many suppose 1t will,
they will have steauy work and make better wages
than previous To The disruption OF the combination.
The decision OF the operators has had the effect re-
