THE coal CONsPxKACY.
Dubious Outlook for Poor Consumer
the Coming Winter.


the Coming Winter.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 29.-It is assert
ed that the coal dealers of the city did
not raise prices at their meeting on
Friday last because they could not
deliver all the September coal con-
tracted for during the month. The
rule OF the association is that no coal
shall be delivered next month which
was bought at this months price if
there has been an advance ordered by
the association. A special meeting of
the Coal Exchange has been called for
Friday, at 2:3O P. M, at Is Washing
ton Street, at which it is said that the
price will be advanced perhaps to as
much as $3.50 for nut and 1926 for
range coal.
In regard to this matter, dispatch
from this city to the Engineering and
Mining Journal, of New York, dated
September "a, Says
Dispatches yesterday stated that the op-
erations OF what is known as the "Coal
Ring" are just now exciting great attention
in this city, and several labor leaders are
considering the advisability Of calling a
mass meeting to protest against what is
termed it's extortions. This morning a.
meeting OF the Chicago Coal Exchange
opened at the Grand Pacific, and, although
the business is conducted with closed doors,
it is understood that the directors have
submitted a recommendation that the price
OF coal, which is now $3.50 q ton, be in
creased to 81 for the current month. The
whole coal supply is in the hands of the Ship
pers' Association, which, with the exchange
sets the prices. 1t is stated that the price
will be increased to SO ton in November.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 29-The
coal agents OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Coal Companies have advanced
the selling prices of coal on an average
about / 5 cents per ton. The demand
for the company's coal is extremely
heavy and exceeds the transportation
facilities.

ALL WILL CLOSE DOWN.
The Great Packing Houses TO Cloee DowE
Some Time During this Mouth.

The Great Packing Houses to Cloee Down
Some Time During this Month.
CHICAGO, Ill.,, Oct. 1.-The statement
is published this afternoon that q
great lockout at the stock-yards has
been decided upon some time during
this month, when the packing houses
will all close down and remain closed
until the question of eight hours or ten
hours is settled. One of the large
packers said this morning: "Trouble
| is Of course expected. It will be- d long
fight, but we can't run on eight hours
with the other houses around us
running on ter hours. So the trouble
| might as well come all at once as to
| drag along until we are compelled to
shut down by losses. 1t is likely that
several of the houses will start up in q
small way on the ten-hour schedule
and make the fight" The Chicago
Packing and Provision Company has
already shut down for repairs. That
is what all the packing company Off
GERS say, and this is probably the Sc
cret of the denial Of the packers that
this is to be a lockout" The houses
will shut down one after another-for
repairs. When they open it will
be on ten hours time or not at all. At
this time OF the year it is customary
for all the houses which have been run
ming all summer to shut down for re-
pairs. This October, however, the
shut down will be significant. It will
afford the houses the opportunity to
throw on their men the onus Of the
fighting. The houses will be closed.
Those who apply for work can go to
work at ten hours or they Can stay
out. Meanwhile all the houses at
Kansas City, Omaha, Milwaukee,
Springfield, ST. Louis, and elsewhere
will berunning day and night. Thefact
of the lockout is authoritative. So is the
fact that the packers are all acting
together. There is no doubt at all
about there being concert of action.
Yet the packers are all so reticent, and
some of them deny the fact so glibly
that to one not versed in their ways
their denials would be accepted. There
is, however, no doubt that the lock-
out is agreed to and preparations are
going forward to make long and
stubborn fight for the ten hour ques-
ton. A hog buyer said this morning:
''There is plainly something in the
wind at the stock yards, but just
what it is nobody knows. The
houses are going to close down very
soon. They can better afford to make
the fight in October than in Novem-
Der. Hogs are high now, and by cut
ting down and forcing the ten-hour
fight the packers would really make
their expenses by the depression of the
price of hogs" Twenty thousand
people will be deprived of employment
by the great lockout. It is expected
that they will offer q stubborn resist
ance, and it is not thought improba-
BILE that the fight will lead to blood
shed

Congress last winter. A thorough ex-
animation has been made of the rela-,
tions of convict labor to free labor
and every penitentiary, jail and
workhouse in the United States
where the inmates are employed
In industrial pursuits has been
visited by the agents of the
bureau. Their reports will be carefully
tabulated and taking these tables as
a basis, it is believed that the extent
to which the independent laborer or
mechanic is affected by the prison
workers can be shown with sufficient
exactness to serve as g. guidefor future
legislation on the subject. The report
will also include statistics touching la
Dor strikes In this country. The in
qulries of the bureau on this subject
cover g. period of time ranging
from January, 1881, down to
July of the present year,
and it is believed that information
has been collected touching every
strike of consequence that has oc-
Cured in the United States within
that period. From the data collected,
deductions of general character will
be made with view to the establish
ment of certain rules that may aid in
forecasting the probable result of
future strikes and in demonstrating
the effects Of such concerted move
ments upon the laboripg and employ
ing class and the industries affected.
The full report will probably be COM
pleted about the beginning of the COM
ing year.

Labor Notes.

The retail clothiers of Chicago, who have
for some time been agitating an early-closing
movement, held g. large meeting on the Sd,
the effect of which is likely to be a serious
boycott. 1t was stated at the meeting
that petitions to employers in the interest
OF the movement had resulted in little short
OF a failure. Those retail merchants who
had acceded to the request of their en-
ployes had mostly gone back to the old
system OF keeping open late at night, while
others are combating the movements in
other ways. After an earnest discussion q
committee OF fifteen was appointed and in
structed to wait on the different trade and
labor assemblies and ask them to refuse to
patronize any merchant who kept his store
open later than z O'Clock in the evening.

the Bulgarian government would COM

were roughly handled by the crowd.

man pawned a coat here yesterday,

of murder committed in Cincinnati,

admitted that he stabbed man
named Tobey Cain in Cincinnati, in

died. The confession, he stated, was
prompted by troubled conscience.
Downes stated to the officers that he
was arrested for Cain s murder, but on
the testimony of Gains wife
and her sister he was acquitted. In
his confession he states that he had
questionable relations with Cain s wife,
and that she connived with him to get
rid of her husband. He says he wrote
the confession about six months ago
to send to a judge of a Cincinnati
court, but afterwards changed his

Accuse Each Other.

Advices from Hong Kong indicate that
there is dispute between the Methodist
and Catholic missionaries in China as to
which denomination is responsible for the
indiscretions that excited the recent whole
sale massacre of Christians in the province
OF Se-Chuen. The Catholic bishop of Chun-
Khing attributed the outbreak in that city
to the indiscreet conduct of the Methodists.
The latter declare that in Chun- Khing the
massacre of the native Christians and the
destruction OF their churches and property
was due entirely to popular Indignation
aroused by the Catholic bishop, who. the
Methodists say, persistently used yellow
tiles in the construction of his new ca
thedral in spite Of repeated warnings that
it was dangerous to do so, because it out
ragged the native faith by making common
use OF a color venerated as sacred and re-
served exclusively for the use of the EN-
