ECHO TO PROGRESS.

ECHO TO PROGRESS.
Mr.. Editor:
It seems that my communica-
ton on "shams" struck some one
in q tender place, judging from
tho squeal Of Progress; of.
course, it could not be expected
that any one whose system was
impregneted with as much venom
as was injected into the columns
of little Evangeline over the sign
.ature of Progress" would write
calmly and intelligently upon my
subject. The writer referred to
was shamming when he was hurl-
ing those epithete of abuse at
-'Old Foggy," Why did he not
come out squarely in favor OF
-'shams," instead of defending
them in the name of progress?
An old philosopher write, 20. that
/ had a friend to tell me OF my
faults" Progress" might appro-
.priately say, 20. that l had q
friend to tell me what to write,
for I have been my greatest accu-
SER" Mr.. Progress, why not tell
the people what dire offense "Old
Foggy has committed? You can
not remove the odium resting on
the conduct l condemned by try
ing to make the people believe
that aOld Foggy" has the "auda-
city" to tell them show mean and
inclined to trickery "they are.
They will think for themselves on
this point, and, they care as little
about your opinion of 'Old Fog

pecially defenders of 'shams'. You
must stand as defender of them,
or give better reason than you
have stated for your unstinted
abuse of "Old Foggy," Have you
been playing any of the little
games of deception which "Old
Foggy" had the "audacity" te
enumerate and to tell the people
that some of them were practiced
here. If "Old Foggy" does make
his living here, he pays for thu

than "shammers" do, for no tai

besides, "Old Foggy" makes nc

ODE Anrbraeire coal cri,i,

An article In the April Atlantic by
Talcott Williams throws light upon
the real causes OF the threatened strike
In the Pennsylvania coal fields. This
writer shows that strikes are often
the result OF intense competition.
Every new machine and every shifting
of trade has In II the possibilities of
strikes In the industries affected.
Thus the invasion OF England by
American steel products Is likely to
produce labor troubles In English steel
mills. II is change OF this kind
that has forced the anthracite mine
owners and their employees into a state
constantly bordering on conflict. For
the first time both sides are now thor
,oughly organized and each feels the
pressure OF conditions which seem TO
II uncomfortable.
The real cause OF the anthracite
troubles is the increasing competition
OF bitumlnous coal. From 1870 to 1860
the annual output OF each OF the two
kinds Of coal was practically the
same. BY 1870 the anthracite had
forged anead OF its rival In the proper
ton OF 100000 tons to $4,000 900 OF
soft coal. Anthracite had everything
In It's favor and the iron OF the coun-
try was made with this kind OF coal.
Miners got good wages and capital
made large dividends. Then the capt.
talists did as they usually do In such
cases-they watered their stock.
Between 1870 aud 1880 the capital
engaged In anthracite increased from
fbO,O0O,OOO to 1854 900, 900. Yet during
the same period bituminous coal sud
denly leaped far ahead OF anthracite
In 1880 the hard coal output was a.
100000 tons, while the soft coal was
nearly 100000 tons. The use OF coke
had been discovered, and the iron I'm.
idustries had begun to substitute bltu-
'minous for anthracite coal. The an
lthraoite interests thus found them
selves heavily oyercapitalized and face
ito face with strong and unexpected
competition. Their decline dates from
that time. In the last twenty years
the anthracite output has doubled. but
that OF bituminous coal has quad
rupled' The Pennsylvania owners
sought to save themselves by employ
Ing cheaper and less Intelligent labor.
They scaled down wages through the
company store, a high price for pow
der, and various devices for mulctlng
