INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.

The exact position In the coal trade IL
| this: The leading companies cannot agree
upon division OF tonnage, and pending an
agreement they are wasting their sub
stance. The matter IL business propo-
sition solely and in the end II will have
| to be taken up and solved as such.
Readings coal tonnage last week was
the smallest recently appointed, having
been only 2OO92O tons. an increase of 5S63
tons over the same week last year, but q
decrease OF ll3,0O5 as compared with the
preceding week. For the fiscal year to
date its tonnage has amounted to 4,376,
l3l tons, an Increase over the correspond
Ing period last year OF 569,47S tons.
After an idleness of twelve years the
Carter 4 Allen machine shops at Tamaqua
have resumed operations. They were pur-
chased about one year ago by the Vulcan
completely remodeled the shop and pur-
chased n great deal OF new machinery.
When running full handed they will give
employment to several hundred men.
1t is said President Harris has notified
the committee of presidents of the anthra-
cite coal carrying roads that the Reading q
company would positively decline to SUBJ
init its claims for arbitration. A high Of
ficial of that company said yesterday:
"All we want Is what we are entitled to-.
Our tonnage for the past few months has
been over q per cent and we will not take
less than that now. 1t is for the other 70
per cent. to do something. not u.s.
The committee of five appointed by the
anthracite coal presidents to select arbi-
traitors to determine and settle the Ques-
ton Of percentages and other existing diff
ferences between the big coal companies
will probably meet on Friday or Saturday
of this week. Aside from selecting the ar
bitrators, the committee Is charged with
furnishing the necessary data by which
the arbitratOrs will be governed In finding
their award. While the committee has
been endowed with power to act their Sc
lection of arbitrators will have to be rati-
fled by the presidents. An official con-
nected with one of the anthracite coal
companies. in speaking about the selec-
ton of arbitrators yesterday, said that
they must be men who would not be satis-
fled with merely slicing off certain por-
ton of the percentage Of a company that
might offer the least protest, but that
they must also be willing to take up the
question upon fundamental business prin-
ciples and base their finding upon the facts
as they really exist. Such an award, he
said, would be entirely satisfactory to all
the presidents, and all, he thought. would
cheerfully attach their signatures to an
agreement based upon such a finding.
