a war on Monopoly.


The action taken by Gov. Pattison of
Pennsylvania on Saturday, with reference
to the anthracite coal combination, will
give an cpportuny of determining how
far the law counteuances Incorporated
capital In creating an artificial value for a
necessity OF life. The situation IS one in
which every householder, as Wei as large
manufacturers, has personal interest,
as the recent advance In the price Of coal
informs them.
This combination, consisting OF six
railroad companies representing about
$500, 100000 of capital and bound by
reciprocal pledges, determined at its last
meeting to restrict the output Of coal at
the Pennsylvania mines tn an amount
less than is demanded in the market, and
TO increase the price month by month,
beginning with OctOber. The first step
la this movement has already been made.
AS It's effect, the miners, whose oppor-
tunity 10 earn wages has been curtailed,
have prepared TO strike.
At this point Governor Pattison inter.
feres. In q letter addressed 70 the at
torney-general OF the state he directs that
officer 10 ascertain whether the laws have
been violated by this combination, and 70
take such action as the circumstances
may warrant. Governor Pattison's
characterization Of the methods
employed by the coal mon
opoly is picturesque. These com
panies claim, ne says, that they can mark
up coal prices TO any fgnre they please,
thereby subjecting the public 10 their
mercy, injuriously aud unwarFantably
taxing every Preside and imposing upon
coal consumers the financial burdens
which their speculhtlons have engendered.
He further dwells upon the effect upon
the Industries Of the state, In that the com.
binAtion controlling the anthracite region,
has, by limiting production, kept nearly
100000 workers on three-qusrters pay
and restricted the Development OF tht
mineral wealth of the siatc. "By restrict.
Ing production aud hy nntauciue
prices" says GOV. Pntlsou, 'il
has crippled Vast iron Interests,
decreasing the demqnd Tor anthracite
coal Ia the reduction OF iron ores,
forcing iron furnaces out OF blast and
placing nearly all the industries OF East.
ern Pennsylvania at the mercy Of the man.

apparently violated, II is that which for.
