SUPPOSE the miners should say to
the companies:
Gentlemen-You are aware that
the Pennsylvania railroad and its
Ciearfeld tributaries carry. coal at
rates, say % per cent. lower than the
Baltimore and Ohio and Cumberland
and Pennsylvania railroads, thereby
enabling the Cloarfeld miners to dig,
say 80 per cent, more coal than we
are permitted to dig. You will see
the disadvantage thus imposed upon
us, etc. Therefore, to make up this
deficiency, please advance our wages
from 65 to so cents per ton.
. How would that sound to company
ears?
We will whisper the answer: Just
as rational to the miners as the com.
panies' request for a reduction from
65 to 30 cents.

A CORRESPONDENT calls attention
to the probability of some very sub
stantial action in the matter Of a ho-
tel especially for summer accommo-
dation. AS we have had frequent oc-
casion to say before, we believe our
advantages and attractions are unap-
proachable in extent and beauty by
any mountain resort but we appear
to lack the spirit and grit to make
them available. In this instance, we
are glad to learn that The character
of the parties interesting themselves
in the matter implies that there will
be complete work or none at all
Leading off probably with a hand
some investment, they will naturally
expect our people to bring up some
part of the rear. Talk it over
people.
Frostburg mining journal., 1880-07-24

The miner, strange to say, has
both high and low railway rates to
contend with. Our own are too high
and the Pennsylvania too low for him.
On its face this statement would i'm
ply that he was hard to please. TIE
smallest opposition, save a newspaper
or two, that affects him is the rats of
mining in Clearheld.
Frostburg mining journal., 1880-07-24

4 PROMINENT objection to the ar
gumont that high transportation rates
should come down before labor rates,
arises from the company conviction
that it is no use to ask for lower car
riage, because the carriers won't al
low it--that nothing can be done
with them, etc. 1t might be far diff
ferent talking if the transportation
companies could be threatened with
the importation of several thousand
Swedish railroads. In that case the
Cumberland and Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio companies could
be very austerely informed that they
can take up their traps and camp
somewhere ellie.
Frostburg mining journal., 1880-07-24

IL the carriers can see their way to
make up this difference we shall be glad
to have them do it and the trade will go
on smoothly, but if they reduce their rates
now supposed TO compare with those Of
the other roule--in order to make up tie
difference, then We should expect the
Pennsylvania railroad company to follow
Immediately with a reduction, and our
people will be left worse off than before,
and the closer down they shave frcights
the worse Off they will be, for if the coais
OF both regions were dumped from the
mines into market, ours would be nearly q
third dearor than thcirs-NeCs.
This is a lengthy sentence, but how
much better it would be to have a
competition spring up between tie
railroads than one between the miners
of the Clear6eld and Georges Greek
region as to who shall work the low
est. In the latter case it would read
something like this: "If the" miners
"can see their way to make up tlis
difference we shall be glad to have
them do it and trade will go on
smoothly, but If they reduce their
rates-now supposed to compare
with those of the other" miners
y # "then we should expect
the" Clearfeld miners "to follow in-
mediately with a reduction, and our
people will be left worse off than be-
fore, and the closer down they shave"
wages "the worse off they will be, for
Frostburg mining journal., 1880-07-24

IT has been seriously objected that
the JOURNAL should not run the two
subjects of transportation and wages
rates together Chat they are not cor
relative; that neither is germane to
the other" If this view Of the rela-
tions of the two prime elements of the
cost OF marketing coal be correct, we
are frank to say the JOURNAL pur-
sued the line marked out by the COM
panies circular. In that document
the two were so nearly joined that
the high rates Of one were given as 9
potential reason Tor low rates for the
other.
Frostburg mining journal., 1880-07-24

if the Goals of both regions were
dumped from the mines into the mar
ket ours would be nearly third dear
er than theirs" provided that in all
these reductions we kept fifty per
cent. above them.
What nonsense But it all comes
Of the silly notion that it is no use for
the railroad to reduce freight charges
The railroad people are themselves
stufing this folly into other peoples
heads in the effort to disseminate the
dangerous idea that might makes
right"
There is an immense difference how
ever, between railroads. If we had
not learned it before we would know
it now, for the NeaVS distinctly Tex
pects" that "the Pennsylvania rail
road would follow Immediately" any
reduction" the Baltimore and Ohio
would make. The expectation is well
founded the former has exerted it.

the Clearfeld region; the latter has
played the autocrat and tyrant here
It has constantly loaded our trade
with the incubus of its enormous
charges, and at one tune refused to
furnish cars until the miners went to
work at price it had set for them
Hence, the Clearlield region, having
as its active friend and patron the
Pennsylvania road, will always be
able to beat US the Georges Greek re-
gion, having as its enemy and op-
pressor the Baltimore and Ohio road
will always be at a two-fold disad-
vantage in competition with Clear
field. The wise and liberal pol
icy of the Pennsylvania road makes
it the "master Of the situation" nc
matter what wages are paid in Clear
field, and with the Cumberland and
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
railroads against them, it is not with
in the power of the miners of this re-
gion to suco sssfully meet Clearfeld il
market. They may reduce and re
duce, but their sacrifices will be only
so much more and moro proyender tc

"WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. The

while speaking ironically, if not con-
temptuously, of the miners, drives a
fearful blow at the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad.
The Coal Trade Journal is, more
sensibly, not caustic. 1t thinks evil
IDENTIFY that the troubles are not such
that the miners alone should be re-
quired to remove them.
Frostburg mining journal., 1880-07-24

For themselves the companies pro-
pose a plausible surrender to Clear
field. To perform it they would have
the miners run up the white flag and
perform real capitulation.
Frostburg mining journal., 1880-07-24

The miners stated their willing
ness to abide by arbitration. The
companies, we understand, hoot at t!.e
idea. Why? Arbitration means in
vestigation, and that's what the coia-
panies don't want. 1t is enough for
them to make protext of the Clear
field price of mining--the smallest
reason they could have urged for re-
duotion here. But it was the be9t
and only one they had. Hence they
don't want that little bit OF a matter
arbitrated.

IT is often urged that the capri

reference to wages is a fruitful source
Of embarrassment to the companies in
making contracts for the delivery OF
coal. How is it when railroad COM
pany, witho,t a days notice, advances

miners eUer do anything like that ?
While pausing for reply we will say
we have heard but one protest against
this procedure, and that was slightly
