Hazelton, Oct 23-President Mitch
ell. ia an interview last night, prac-
ticalIy admitted the anthracite coal
miners strike would end as soon as
all operators posted notices guarantee
ing payment of the 10 per cent. adj
vance in wages, until April i. Mitchell
said The prospect of an early set

brighter. Some operators have not
yet posted notices signifying their
willingness to fall in line, either with
the Reading company or with the
proposition made by the Lehigh Val
ley company in the Hazelton region.
If all Of them notify the employees by
posting notices or otherwise that an
actual advance of 10 per cent. will be
paid each mine employee and guaran-
tee it's continuance until April J., to-
gether with the abolition of the slid

accepted by the mine workers. The
reduction in powder from $2.t5 to

for an early settlement of the strike
is bright, it is difficult to make pre-
diction as to when the end will come.
Some coal companies are showing
a disposition to not issue second no
tice guaranteeing payment Of the 10
per cent increase in wages until April
Among these the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna e Western. Delaware & Hudson
officials are reported to have
declined to issue a supplemental
notice Mitchell appeared cheerful
when he made the announcement, his
manner indicating the time was near
at hand when all anthracite miners
now on the strike shall return to the
mines. AS soon as all notices guaran.

April are posted, Mitchell will call a

The exhibit of tine American wire trust
set forth in the report of the directors
at Chicago illustrates the operations Of
trusts. Following the formation of the
truss prices were advanced 100 per cent.
or over. The profits of the business for
1899 were $l3,362, 900, leaving, with
81 200, 900 OIL for depreciation and bad
debts, a net profit applicable to stock Of
$50, l62, 900, allowing a per cent. diyi
dend on the preferred and the extraordi
nary figure of Is per cent. OH common
stock. There are S40,00O,O0O of each.
The real estate and plant are valued at
$40 100000. although they were all
bought a little over year ago at $40,.
$1,000, which was the amount of pre-
ferred stock issued This is the story
of the company. But to what extent
does the public know the figures are
reliable? Publicity has been the talk
about trusts, as Il remedy, through au'
thorized examination Of the books. IT
would seem to be a good plan to apply
the principle to the wire trust. Pro-
tected by the robbing tariff and home
competition stined, it has undoubtedly
been great money maker. The PEG.
pie have contributed every cent of it.
