IMPORTANT cor MEETING.
Call for Conference to be Held Next Week
Expectations Based on the Action


Expectations Based on the Action
Restoration of Rates Probable.
New York, Jan. 17-President Samuel
Sloan of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, J. Rogers Maxwell Of the
Central railroad of New Jersey and E.
p. Wilbur of the Lehigh Valley to-day
issued a call to the other coal-carrying
roads for a conference to be held next
Thursday to discuss the condition of
the coal trade and arrange, if possible,
for restoration of prices at least to
what the railroads call Giving basis.
Last nights New York Post says: This
is regarded as an important step, and
it was said by those well informed on
the situation that the conference would
in all probability result in a settlement
of the troubles, if not Immediately, then
in the near future.
The negotiations for a settlement of
the coal trade on basis satisfactory
to the carriers were carried on actively
IN 1884 without satisfactory results.
Meanwhile the coal roads were doing
poorly, some of them losing money in
their coal business, and there was a
general desire for fair division of the
output. Early in 1895 the matter was
referred to an arbitration commission,
and a solution seemed likely to result,
when in April the conferences were sud
denly stopped by the announcement of
President Harris of the Reading that in
his position of receiver ne could not
consent to accept the decision of the
committee No decision had been rem
dered and none apparently was in sight,
but the Reading had made elabora te
statements to prove its right to 81 per
cent. Of the output, while there was a
belief that the committee would not al
low the road so large a share. Further
deliberation, however. was rendered i'm
possible, and when the presidents set
/ lied back to continue. losing money on
the coal business they held the Reading
management responsible for it.
Examination of the reports of the
coai-carrying roads for the last year
shows that it has bsen a most disas-
trous one for the erade. AL the roads

THE BEST
SPRING MEDICINE.

Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULhTOR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during tha Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes checked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Aguc and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Llver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invgorated.
You get THE BEST BLOODwhen
your system Is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR --it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea Of tbs
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.
