The COnl Trade.

a dispatch from bethlehem says that there
is prospect Of another coal war. The min
ers and laborers employed by some indvid-
ual operators, who have been grumbling at
their rate of compensation for some time
past, discovering that their wages are from
five TO ten per cent. lower than the pay re-
ceived by other colliers in the Lehigh region,
have held meetings and resolved to demand
an increase. The men employed in the
Beaver Meadow district are particularly dis
satisfied, and have determined to hold to the
resolutions as adopted by the Miners and
Laborers' Benevolent Association, which has
lately been gaining large membership and
powerful influence. Several local strikes are
in progress. And judging from the general
feeling throughout the region it is not in the
least improbable that every colliery on the
north and south sides will be idle within a
short time. The number of colliery opera
tives interested in this great movement is
about 10 900, who represent mining popu-
lation of between 25,OOO and 10000 The
operators eppear to be in forlorn situation,
in consequence of the almost demoralized
and very improbable state of the coal trade,
and as the belief is general that leading coal
men are in no immediate position to increase
the mems wages, and will order an entire
suspension of mining operations i'll the event
of a strike, the outlook is gloomy and criti-
cal.
The firm of Pardce & Co., whose collierics
are located in and around the lIazleton dis
| trict, made q satisfactory arrangement with
their miners earlier in the year, and it is be-
lieved there will be no trouble in the region
| where this company operates. Pardee &Co.'s
mining rates are as follows When Lehigh
coal averages S. per ton on board of vessels
in New York waters, the price paid for in
side work will be: For mining Mammoth
Vein coal, per ton OF As cubic feet, 424 cents
miners weekly wages will be $l2.G0, and
laborers shall receive from $3.50 to $l0.S0
| As coal advances or declines in price from
| SIS, so shall the price vary at the rate Of j.
per cent. for each dollar of such advance ol
decline. On all outside work the prices arr
fixed monthly, and vary to certain eXten
with the coal, although there will be NJ
regular percentage for an advance or decline
on the price of coal.

B. Gowen, President of the Philadelphia ant
Reading Railroad Company, and the Lehigl

edge of the reports from Hazleton concern
ing the renewal of negotiations for Goa
combination. The impression is, however
that any steps for reviving the compact mus
be initiated by the Lehigh Valley interest
and that efforts are being made to brin,
about an agreement between Judge Packe
and the individual operators in the Lchigl
region. President GOwen is known to be il
favor of the movement TO bring about high
er prices, and has expressed himself to th
