tablishing the advanced rate in their dis
trict, it should bee continued in the Reading
mines also, but il they should fail to estab-
lish il by that date, the Reading miners
should consent TO a return 10 the old rate.
When the date fixed upon came, the Lehigh
movement had failed, and according TO their
agreement the Reading miners we're bound
to accept the old rate But just at the close
Of tho contract period the Knights Of La
Dor took hand in the proceedings and de
handed that the Reading railroad company
should reinstate few men who had been
rightfully discharged for refusing TO do
their duty. Failing in this attempt at CO
ercion the leaders Of the Knights, taking
advantage Of the miners discomfort, order
ed the miners TO refuse to fulfil their part
Of the contract From these facts it ap-
Knights of Labor who investigated the
strike and the miners themselves who broke
their agreement are deserving of blame.
On the other hand Mr.. Corbin, the presi-
dent of the Reading company, has not ex-
hibtod much tact or wisdom, and If it be
true as reported, that the Reading company
has refused to furnish empty cars to collier
les whose owners have allowed the eight per
cent advance in wages, the management
has shown its inconsistency in a glazing

In executive session of the Senate on
Monday Senator Edmunds made an adverse
report on the nomination of Mr. Lamar to
be associate justice of the supreme court,
and Senator Pugh, on behalf of the minor
ity, made favorable report In spite of
Mr. Lamar manifest lack of qualification
for place on the highest judicial tribunal
in the land his confirmation is undoubtedly
Il foregone conclusion, as three or four Re
publicans are now counted sure to vote yes
with the Democrats. 1t was. understood
that the Republican senators would be a
unit against the confirmation until Mr.
Stewart of Nevada suddenly appeared ON
the scene with public letter advocating
affirmative action, on the ground that it is
time for all sectional feeling and division to
cease. The letter, however, carefully
avoids the real point at issue-the fact that
Mr.. Lamar is not qualified by legal learn
ing or experience for this position. The
Springfield Union aptly states the case
when it says that, at is not because Mr..
Lamar is Democrat and was a secession
list that he is objected to, but because
those qualifications are not enough to en-
title II man to a supreme court judgeship.

The Burlington Free Press makes an in
telligible summary of the causes which have
led to the great Reading coal strike which
has increased the cost of coal all over the
country, and which threatens to bring great
loss and suffering on the population depend
emit ON the Reading system as well as on the
miners who are left without work or wages
in the dead of winter. There are three
parties TO the contest-the mine owners,
the miners, and the authorities Of the
Knights of Labor, who control the miners.
But for the refusal Of these three parties to
agree upon a matter of right and duty,
there would be no strike, no scarcity of
coal, and none of the suffering which a
scarcity Of coal must produce. The three
parties to the controversy cannot all be
right in their demands, though all may be
in the wrong.
The causes which led up to the strike
were as follows The miners who are strik
ing made a bargain with their employer,
some months ago, under which their wages
were advanced The condition of the agree
ment was that the mine owners were TO pay
the advanced rate until January /, in any
case that if by that time the striking lie

The controversy between the shippers of
dressed beef and the shippers Of live stock
from Chicago eastward has at last gone
before the Interstate Commerce commits
sioners upon carefully prepared statements.
The rate established by the trunk lines for
dressed beef is 60 cents per hundred
pounds. The compainants say that from
May 8, 1881, to April 4, 1887, the average
published rate for dressed beef was So
cents, and that for twenty two months of
that period it was only 40 cents They in
sist that 40 cents is enough, and that it was
largely in excess of the rate charged by
said common carriers for like and con-
temporaneous service in the transportation
of like kind of property under substan-
TALLY similar circumstances and conditions"
They assert that after the Interstate COM
merce law became operative the trunk
roads combined to fix rate of 65 cents,
and that their combination was and their
existing agreement is in violation of that
law.
In support of the charge that there is un-
Just discrimination against dressed beef and
in favor of "a like kind of property the
complainants say that the rate 90 cents is
80 cents more than is demanded for pack
age provisions and 80 cents more than is
charged for bulkmeats. They assert that
the trunk lines have for six years carried
provisions in refrigerator cars at an aver
age rate of 30 cents, and that 70 per cent
of the package provisions aud bulkmeats
shipped eastward from Chicago are carried
in such cars They point to the fact that
the dressed beef rate from the Missouri
river to Chicago is only FIVE cents more
than the rate for meat provisions, and that
the tariff ON other kinds of freight between
the Missouri and Chicago is substantially
the same as the tariff ON the trunk lines
east of that city.
The case comes before the Interstate
commissioners in the form of five monster
petitions from the five leading dressed beef
companies, who claim to have suffered
damages by unjust discrimination under
the law to the amount of $3.50, 600. \ great
array Of legal talent has been engaged
among others Senator Edmunds and Don
NJ. Dickinson, as counsel for the beef com
panies The case will in the end go before
the United States Supreme court, and will
incidentally involve the question of the
consttutionality of the Interstate law.
