NO TRUST In PICKLE

. Local Firms Say They Have Not Been
Asked to Go Into Any Combination
They VIII Not Enter If They Arc Asked
The Market Improving.
The report sent throughout the country
that the American Preserving Company had
made arrangements to take in all the inde-
pendent manufacturers is not borne out by
inquiries in this city and Allegheny. The
American Preserving Company Is a trust,
organized from Chicago about four years
ago, including manufacturers of preserved
fruits of various kinds. Only one local
firm, the Cruikshank Bros Company, of
Allegheny, entered the trust The II. j.
Heinz Company, Heinz Bros. & Co. and
Lutz Bros. remained independent, as did
several large manufacturers in the East
The trust fixed prices, but many of the inde-
pendent concerns were able to get better
figures than those commanded by the trust.
The organization has therefore not been
glittering success.
About five years ago there was q pickle
trust, also formed in Chicago, but 1t did
not succeed in drawing in many of the big
firms, and soon collapsed. The pickle
trade, which is largely carried on by the
same concerns that put up preserves, has
been in bad shape recently, and there was
some talk few months ago of trying to get
the manufacturers in that line together, to
put up prices. Last year there were enor-
nous crops of cucumbers, cauliaower,
onions, tomatoes and other vegetables en-
tering into the manufacture of pickles, and
prices naturally went down. Local firms
were forced to sell their goods at 81 bar
rel less than cost. This season the crops
are poor, the prices of pickles have already
gone up and there is now fair margin of
profit. The talk of combination has there
fore ceased.
One of the firm of Heinz Bros. s. Co. said
yesterday that he had heard nothing lately
of trust, and if new one were in course of
formation be did not think the promoters of
it would come to his firm, as it was known
to be against trusts.
II. j. Heinz, of the great Allegheny es-
tablishment, is out of the city, but several
gentlemen connected with the house we're
interviewed. They agreed that no trust
proposals had been made recently to their
company. When the preserve trust was
organized, hattering offers were made to
Mr.. Heinz, but he declined to 60 into any
combination to fix prices
Julian j. Lutz, of Lutz Bros, said that he
had heard nothing Of the revival of the
pickle trust, or an enlargement of the pre-
serve trust, except through a recent article
in some newspaper He thought there was
nothing in either scheme, as no proposals
had been made to his firm. The trade is
now improving, prices have again become
fair and there was no need of trust

A THREE-CENT RATE.
River Operators Talk Of Reducing
the Price of Coal Mining.
HIGH WATER GLUTTED MARKETS.
An Amalgamated Man Makes Tour Of the
Upper Union Mills.
NEWS OF TIE GREAT WORLD OF LABOR

The coal operators met in the Office of the
Coal Exchange, on the corner of Wood and
Water streets, yesterday to consider the re-
duction of the price for mining coal. The
meeting was secret.
The agitation of this question arises from
the state of the lower markets. The un-
usually high water of the past few months
has so overstocked the trade that coal is
now selling in the lower markets ut less
than when the miners were given an ad-
vance of Il cent. The operators think
they are unjustly Disseminated against in
the matter of loading coal at the mines.
The railroad companies, and in fact
all other consumers, have coal de-
livered at 3 cents bushel, while
the riyermen have to pay 81.
The railroad companies claim the rivermen
can deliver their coal much cheaper than
they. and that it is not an unjust discrimi-
nation. This question was thoroughly dis
cussed at the meeting, but no definite steps
taken, as there were not enough present to
get correct idea OF the sentiment on this
question. Another meeting will likely be
held Saturday, when larger attendance is
In the meantime committee consisting
of Addison Lysle, William Wood and
Captain L n. Bunton will circulate paper
among the operators and try to enlist their
cooperation in making determined stand
for a reduction of 4 cent bushel.
The rivermen are becoming thoroughly in
terested in this subject and feel that some
thing must be done, as they claim no money
can be made at the present rates
A coal operator in discussing the subject
said: 1--WE are not being given a fair deal
in this matter and think the coal opera
tors ought to do something to protect them
selves The railroads can ship in coal and
undersell us, with the advantage of a
cent bushel We may be able to get it to
its destinations little cheaper, but cannot
deliver it as conveniently as the railroads.
which carry it directly into the yards of
factories We have to handle it again, and
that means added expense. If the coal men
will stand together fight for the reduction
will be made, and made to win, even if
there is strike. There are so many inter-
ests connected with many of the operators
that 1 fear this will be a difficult matter.
We will know when we meet again, as by
that time they will have had time to discuss
what they want to do"

TRAFFIC DELAYED FIVE HOURS.

An Engine Derailed as IL Enters the
Baltimore and Ohio Depot.
Traffic on the Baltimore and Ohio road
was delayed for five hours last night on ac-
count of the engine of the Bissell acoommo-
dation being derailed Just as it was enter
ing the depot
The train was due at 6:2o o'clock but last
evening was a little late and the engineer

bound accommodation depart. About 80
yards from the entrance to the station the
engine left the rails and ran against the
rails of the next track in such a manner al
to prevent any traffic whatever. The out
bound accommodation was blockaded ss was
the Eastern and Western trains. There
was no material damage done and the tracks
were cleared by IL o'clock.

the fact that he was In Seville when Co
