Has Hopes That He Will Be Elected Presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers.
Pittsburg, Pa, January 3.-The COM
ing national convention of the United
Mine Workers of America, which will
be held in this city next week, is ex-
citing great interest, the election of a
successor to President Ratchford being
thu principal question at ISSUE Charges
of using the order for political purposes
have been preferred against some of
the leaders, and from present appear
ances it would seem that there will be
a battle between the rank and file of
the miners and the politicians.
Mr. Katchford, it is said, favors John
Mitchell for his successor, and the min
ers of the Pittsburg district, whose
wishes will carry much weight because
of their influence in the Interstate
convention, want their favorite, Pat
rick Dolan, to occupy the position of
national president

assure you that l will not resort to any
wire pulling or intimidation to gain a

ministration of the national organiza-

against me. 1t must be remembered

Continues to Wage War Against
Them.


Columbus, Ohio, January 3.-Attor-
ney General Monnett to-day filed in the
Ohio Supreme Court petition to Gus
the National Biscnit Company from do
ing business as a trust in this State,
The petition has been in readiness for
several days awaiting favorable OPP
portunity for fling. The suit is in line
with the Attorney Generals policy OF
fighting trusts in Ohio.
The petition filed relates that COM
plant has been made to him by whole
sale grocers regarding the methods OF
the trust, which he holds is contrary
to the antitrust law passed by the
State Legislature. 1t is claimed that
other manufacturers are kept out so
that the grocers are forced to pay the
exhorbitant prices asked. AS an illus
tration it is stated that the price charg-
ed for crackers is equal to that OF a
bushel of wheat.
The Attorney General claims that the
Biscuit Company is capitalized for $751;
100000 but only has $5,O0o,00O in the
business.

IN A RECEIVERS HANDS.

The Atlantic Transportation Company in
Troubie-Capitalizati Too Low.
Special to the Register.
Richmond, Va, January "a tele-
gram from New York announces that
the Atlantic Transportation Company,
with Headquarters at Newport News,
had gone into the hands Of receiver.
General E. p. Meany, president of the
company, was appointed as receiver in
a New Jersey Court.
The Atlantic Transportation Com
pany is new corporation, being not a
year old. General Meany, general man.
ager of the American Telephone &
Telegraph Company, and Ex-Governor
MacCorkle, of West Virginia, are
among the fncorporators. The former
is president of the company and the
latter general counsel. The company
was formed to transport coal in the
coastwise trade. 1t controlled the
greater portion Of the coal traffic out
of Newport News. The company has
five year contract with the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railway Company by
which it may obtain annually as much
coal as it needs up to 100000 tons,
making a maximum of 20,000,0O0 tons
for the life of the contract. Ex-Gov-
ernor MacCorkle organized the COM
pany. 1t was capitalized at $4,000
and several vessels formely used in the
lake trade were purchased and these
were put in service by the new COM
pany.
The trouble seems to be that the
capitalization was not sufficiently large.
Coal is slow to yield money and the
company could not afford to wait, con-
sequently it was forced to the wall. 1t
is not known what is the proportion Of
assets to liabilities. 1t is said that the
Transportation Company is indebted in
a considerable amount to the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad.
