WASHINGTON, July S0-Powderly ap-
peared yesterday before the house
comittee investigating the Home
stead affair and read statement
principally devoted to the Pinker-
tons. He said he had investigated
the regulations of the men engaged by
Piukerton and had found at least eight
men who were charged with crime, four
being credited with burglary. Then they
had acted rs spies in Knights of Labor
councils. The statement made by the
Pipkertons thai but three men had been
killed by their employees was incorrect.
He thought that seven We're killed by
them in the East St. Louis strike The
Knights of Labor, he said, never prevent
ed non-union men from accepting work,
and he thought employers could replace
union men by non-union men if Pinker-
tons were not employed.
Replying to Eoatner he said that or
ganized labor did not Justify the of
force to X eep non-union men away. He
thought that many of the labor troubles
could be settled without the loss of life if
Pinkerton men were kept away. He
thought that each state and locality
should care for his own affairs. He pre-
ferred in cases like that of Homestead to
have men selected from the locality, as
such persons We're more careful and con-
siderate than those gathered from dis
tances. The Pinkertons, he said, was the
bone of contention. The labor people did
not want to eXterminate them if the law
would do it.
The Committee Is Willing.
Oates and Broderick desired to know
what measures Powderly thought would
be satisfactory or the subject of the Pink
ertons, and Oates implied that the com
mittee was against them, and against
their hire and transportation. Broderick
asked If law were passed prohibiting
their transportation would it be satisfac-
tory, and Powderly thought it would. The
labor people were in favor of compulsory
arbitration. The government protecte
the Carnegie company and labor t $50
wanted protection.
Some Rights of Owners.
Witness would not Justify strikers in
preventing non-union men from entering
the works in any way bat through per-
suasion. He also admitted the right of
the owners to protect their plant, but was
against the bringing of irresponsible men
to protect the works. Men who We're
picked up anywhere and who sneaked off
after the trouble and were not held respon-
sible. The company had the right to dis
charge men with whom it could not agree,
but these rights were frequently altered
by contracts. He was in favor of govern
ment ownership of the railways. The
committee adjourned subject to the call of
the chair

For Arbitration with a String.

Rev. Amanda DeyO, Of scranton, has
been here trying to get both sides to agree
to arbitration. The Carnegie people told
her fatty that there was nothing TO arbi-
trate. Weihe made a statement that the
men would arbitrate everything except the
change of date of expiration OF the scale.

Weekly Coal Report.

The producing interests are getting
things in shape for the opening of navi-
CATION on the great lakes, and there is
considerable coal stocked at Buffalo
awaiting shipment to the Western dis
tributing ports. The Western markets
are reported to be in good shape, and
the season will open with greatly re-
duced stocks of coal on hand compared
with previous seasons. The Eastern
trade is very quiet, and there is little
new business expected from that quarter
until after the 1st proximo. There are,
however, few old orders for coal for
Eastern shipment still on hand, because
of the delay in the return of barges
which were storm-bound at Philadelphia
recently. The local line and city trade
is dull. The prices for anthracite are
being very firmly maintained, and the
only cutting heard of now is q slight
shading in prices at New York by some
individual operators.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
April. 2, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 1858 tons,
compared with 594, ,SlS tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
III, 72O tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1892
was 9,2S7 1881 tons, compared with 81
+470, ,522 tons for the same period in 1891,
decrease of S17 400 tons.-Ledger.

A trust that is buttressed on one flank
by protective tariff and on the other
by patent right is very hard to dis
lodge. This has been demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the people of Mime
sofa. The legislature of that state
thought it would be good thing to set
the inmates of the state prison at work
making binder twine for the farmers,
and made an appropriation for procuring
the necessary machinery. But it was
found that the Cordage trust owned the
patents on improved machinery, and
would not sell to the state without a
guarantee that the state would join in
the conspiracy to maintain trust prices
and sell its product within prescribed
area. Here was an unexpected dilemma.
AT last advices the sovereign state of
Minnesota had not gone into the twine
making business.

THE CORDAGE TRUST.
HOW 1T EFFORTS ENORMOUS PROF
ITS BY COMBINATIONS.

How 1t Is Protected-A Long Struggle
to Force In the Independent Manufac-
turers-An Now in One-Large Divi-
dends and 100000 Surplus.
Hemp and its substitutes MANILA,
sisal grass and jute-constitute the raw
material of two important industries,
those of cordage and bagging manufac-
ture. The most important of these is
the cordage industry, which comprises
the production of all classes of ship. and
other cordage, rope and binding twine.
1t is seldom that these products are
manufactured in separate establish
ments. Nearly all the materials used
are imported, and the establishments in
the industry are quite widely diversified
throughout the country. A scheme to
combine all these establishments into a
gigantic trust would have been consid-
cred impossible several years ago. Now,
however, after the people have become
accustomed to the sight of trusts and
combines as a result of the tariff, its sue
cessful accomplishment excites little
comment.
The duties on the material and on
cordage and twine are as follows:

10 cents, and the iron men of a cent

ced that Seyferts two rolling mills, en-
ploying 300 hands, five miles below Read

Another Fakir on the Road.

For some weeks passed fakir has
been working the people of Schuylkill
County. He visits the towns, and going
from door to door, says he is jeweler,
with headquarters in some neighboring
town. He solicits work and secures
plenty of it. Watches and jewelry are
given him and he then departs. 1t not
necessary to say that he never comes
back. A good many people have lost
valuables in this manner, and it would
be well to watch for him in this part.

In addition to the forty-ive concerns
mentioned above, the trust claims the
control of four others, making total of
forty-nine properties.
At the time of its organization, in 1897,
the trust announced as the object sought
by its formation an increase in the
profits to be derived from lower cost
of materials by the removal of compe-
tition in the market and from the econ
omies to be derived from decrease in
the cost of production. 1t was asserted
time and again that no attempt would
be made to raise the prices of its fin
ished products.
The claims were repeated at the time
of the reorganization as corporation,
and finally in February last in the an
nual report to the stockholders in the
following terms, "ThRugh these ad-
vantages secured by the control of many
mills and their management under one
direction, the company hopes to be en-
abled to secure an increased margin of
profit without increasing the prices of
| its product to the consumer"
Has the trust up to the present car
ried out its promise, or if not, is there
any likelihood that it will do SO in the
future?
In the following table is shown the
average yearly price per pound since
1885 of the raw material and finished
product The articles, the prices of
which are given, are MANILA hemp and
MANILA cordage seven-sixteenths of an
