The improvement in the anthracite
coal trade continues. There has been
much better demand for coal during the
past week than in any previous week
for months past, and many new orders
for coal have been received by the local
operators and shippers. Some of the
individual operators are "fully sold up"
for this month, and all their output of
coal during October will go to fill orders
already booked. Prices, too, are repor-
claim to be now obtaining full circular
figures for their coal of good quality.
The newly mined coal is now being
marketed more freely and the distri-
button is being made over greater area.
There has been much complaint of the
scarcity of cars by the individual opera
tors, who contend that they are not
being treated fairly by the carrying
companies who are also producers of
anthracite. In response to an inquiry
on this subject, we are informed by an
official of one of the largest anthracite
mining and transporting companies in
this city that the alleged scarcity of cars
is due to the fact that the distribution of
anthracite via all rail has been greater
this wear than ever before and that it is
likely to increase, and consequently the
cars cannot be used to the same advan-
tage as heretofore.
The Chicago correspondent of the New
York C0dI Trade Journal says "In
reviewing the state of the anthracite
coal market at this centre there is
nothing startling to mention. The move
ment of business is steady in response to
fairly active demand from all parts of
the tributary territory, and, in view of
unmistakable signs, one comes to the
conclusion that there is still large
quantity of anthracite required both for
this month and for some time in the
| future. Quite number of orders and

At Eckley on Monday funeral of one
of the residents took place, and, as is
customary, number of the friends and
neighbors attended Tuesday morning
upon going to their work over twenty of
those men were told that before they
could resume work it would be necessary
for them to report to the main office at
Drifton. Upon arriving there they went
to the general mining office, and after
going through a considerable amount of
red tape business, they obtained an
audience with the power behind the
throne, by whom they were informed
that they were guilty of deliberately
violating rule of the company, in not
asking permission to attend the funeral.
AS the laws and rules of the great firm
of G. B. & Co. are regarded more sacredly
(by the company than those of God or
man, all violations are Immediately
followed by chastisement, and the
miners were not surprised to hear the
sentence, "Stand suspended until next
Monday"
Several of those men had laborers
working for them, and they remained at
work loading all the cars that was to be
had, yet the miners have to remain idle
whole week because they failed to give
the regulation notice. This, however, is
nothing new under Coke Bros. & Co.,
but the reason of referring to it at present
is that some action may be taken on it,
not only by the Eckley employees, but
also by all the men employed through
out Coxe's domain. If such state of
affairs is carried on much longer it will be
in order for the great philanthropist to
erect crematory beside his massive
iron breaker, and then it will be entirely
unnecessary to attend funerals.
The men employed by this company
should get together and that without
delay, appoint committee to wait on
Hon. +. B. Coke when he arrives from
Europe next week, and lay their case
before him. This abuse of suspending
men could have been rectifed long ago
had the men taken the proper steps, and
it is not yet too late to do so.
If man is guilty of any crime or has
violated any rule, it would be far more
honorable to discharge him at once than
to stoop to the methods used by this
company in humiliating him-by having
him roam the streets for several weeks
brooding over the wrong, real or imagin-
ary, inflicted on him Is il any wonder
that miners are discontented when the
operators parade their despotic power
before them at every turn?

-Four lIungarians were arrested at
Luzerne Borough saturday, for swearing
falsely before the miners examining
board. On being taken before Squire
Johnson the offenders were held in $500
bonds for appearance at court. The
alleged perjury consisted of bringing to
the examining board filed applications,
sworn to before Justice McKeon of
Kingston township, declaring that they
were miners previous to the 9th of May.
This was shown to be untrue, as some of
them were not in the employ of the
company stated at the time and none of
them can speak word of English. 1t is
said that this is the first prosecution
instituted under the new law and the
outcome of it will be watched with in
terest by honest and capable miners
everywhere.
