TIE B1TUMINoUs COAL TRADE.
Probnbie Formation OF nm Association OF
the Western Producers.

Probable Formation OF nm Association OF
the Western Producers.
It has been freely charged that all efforts
heretofore to maintain rates in the bitumin-
GUS coal trade west of Pittsburgh have been
thwarted by the attitude OF tho Columbus.
Hooking Valley and Toledo Railroad Company.
This company has professed to be willing to
enter into agreements to maintain rates. but
has said that it could not control its producers.
Tho Hooking Valley also accused the Wheeling
and Lake Erie Of securing sale Of 100000
tons to the Northwestern Fuel Company. thus
depriving thonl of n sale for which they had
contracted. This statement has been denied
alphabetically by tho rresident Of the Fuel
sion will result in the formal ION OF an agree
mont among the conl producers. IN which
event the Hooking Valley will no longer have
an excuse for creating disturbances OF rates.
The basis of the proposed agreement is out
lined in tho following memorandum:
!. Form an independent association among
the PRODUCERS oil coal on the line o. each rail-
:. This association to regulate the appor-
tonmcnt o. coal among its members and to
place each member under y bond which will
exact u heavy penalty should they violate any
OF tho agreements OF the association.
:. The association to elect q representative
posed OF ono representative only from the as
sociations composed OF the producers on each
railroad.
l. Tho central organization to make all
each Railroad an amount i'll proportion to their
tonnage in 1871
5. Every railroad must carry and produce
tho amount allotted or transfer back to the
central organization any Fart OF its al lotmcnt
which it cannot produce or carry. this to be
divided pro rata among the other roads.
q. Tho central organization to lie allowed n
small commission ror ton to maintain tho
office and pay expenses.
