The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1884-01-15

Yesterday as several members of the let
gal fraternity were sitting in the circuit
court room the conversation turned upon
the weather. 1t was unanimously agreed
that the weather was terribly cold. ard as
a consequence the suffering among the
poorer classes of the city must be very Sc
we're. Mr.. b. g. Wilkinson suggested
it would be good thing to do
if those present would "chip
in" and raise funds sufficient TO buy
a car load of coal for distribution to The
poor. The idea was one quite in accord
with the sentiments of those present. An
impromptu meeting was at once organized
and Mr.. John Montgomery. jr., was called
upon to preside. Subscriptions were called
for and in short meter style the sum of SIS
was raised to be used for the purpose above
noted.
This prompt response on the part Of tie
LAWYERS to q humane suggestion, is one re-
hecting much credit npon them. Their
timely benefactiCn will relieve much suffer
ing and cause a feeling of gratitude in
many hearts for the charity so generously
given.

learned that abe met Sweigart and he
finally traced the pair to the house of Mrs.
Carberry on Church street, and they were
arrested in an up stairs room together.
Complaint was made against Mrs. Nc
Kinney and Sweigart before Alderman A,
+. Donnelly for adultery and fornication,
respectively, and in default OF bail they were
committed to prison for hearing.
The cases were called for hearing this

READING, Pa, Dec 10.--Copies OF the
resolutions passed by the Reading board OF
trade were sent to-day to every railroad
company in this section Of the country.
The resolutions endorsed the movement OF
the Eastern Pennsylvania manufacturers
to hold meeting next month to protest
against the continuation of the coal pool.
aud also declare that the business depres.
sion In the Lebanon and Schuylkill val
leys Is due to the coal combination which,
owing to the consequent high price Of
coal, 70 virtually shutting up many manu-
factories. The resolutions also denoupce
the freight monopoly.
The Eastern Pig Iron association will
meet in Philadelphia Dec. 30, and among
other things will consider the subject of
"cheaper GOAL as necessity to save the
pig iron business OF this section from
absolute ruin The matter OF lower
freight rates will also be considered. Pig
iron manufacturers consume 1.12 Of all
the coal mined in the state, and the iron
trade generally uses I Of all coal mined
Coal and iron constitute z of all the
freight carried on the railroads in this
state. The iron men do not propose to
reduce the wages Of their men. Railroad
monopolies must be shown up and the
responsibility Of dull times and no work
placed where 1t really belongs. II coal
prices were not kept up to an exorbitant
figure by the pool (Which amounts to q
conspiracy then coal would be cheaper,
and the iron men could 60 ahead and
give the people work. The iron could
be produced cheap enough to compete
with Southern iron. Prices for coal are
at least % per ton higher than they
should be. Wages In the East among
iron workers are far lower than those in
the west, simply because coal is higher
in price hero. Yet in East Pennsylvania
is the best coal and the Almighty has
placed 1t there In the most abundant
quantities. Then why should working
men starve because conspiracy of coal
kings keeps up the prices of coal and
thereby stops mills and furnaces and
throws thousands out of work. A strong
appeal is to be made by the iron men to
the coal kings, and If cheaper coal is not
forthcoming the furnaces will have to be
closed. The p. & II. Co. and Lehigh
Valley win be specially appealed to. The
+. q r., by its high COAL rates, has lost a
great deal of business.
