READING. Pa. July 1s.-At 2:So p. m. to-

was called off and the men will go back as
soon as the company Is ready for them.
When the strike was started the company

had TO be given other firms or rejected

PLANS ARE In ABEYANCE
SOFT COAL TRUST ELABoRATING ITS
ORIGINAL DESIGNS.
Actual Organization Waits on Devel-
opments i'm transportation Fa-
cilities-Ships to Be Built.

CLEVELAND, July 13.-The Leader to-
morrow will say: Owing TO certain ex-
mansions of the original plan having been
agreed upon, the formation of the soft
coal trust may be delayed TO give time for
the working of larger plans. The plans
now outlined by those who are on the in
side provides a close harmony between the
producing and the transportation COM
panies. In the latter are to be included
lake. rail and ocean facilities of the largest
proportions.
1T now comes out that the purchase of
the Ohio Rived Railroad by the Baltimore
& Ohio was a part of this big scheme. and
perfected. in a way. the control of the soft
coal carrying facilities for certain parts OF
Ohio. West Virginia and the Pittsburg
district. The same interests now control,
with the assistance of the Morgan hold
ings. all the coal-carrying properties in
this territory that ship coal TO the lakes
or 10 the East. a fleet of ocean-going and
lake-traversing vessels is 10 be collected
under the guidance of the big combination
which will be distinctly trust boats. In
this connection II might be said that more
OF an endeavor is 10 be made 10 sell the
Pittsburg and West Virginia steam Goals
abroad than 10 put them into competition
In the Nor Invest with the Goals OF the
same company which are mined in the
Illinois and western Indiana fields. The
West being compelled TO provide largely
for itself In the way of coal production.
the fields OF Indiana and Illinois will be
developed. and the mines recently dis
covered in the Indian Territory and that
vicinity will be opened TO afford material
for the Western part of this country
''The main hindrance to the exporta-
tion OF bituminous coal has been the lack
of dock facilities for handling the big
boats which heretofore have engaged in
the coaling trade. 1t is the announced in
tention OF the promoters of the soft coal
trust 10 build a specific class OF ocean
going tonnage which can be handed In
the harbor at Marseilles and other south
ern European coal receiving ports without
the Intervention of lighters.
Associated directly with this scheme is
the purchase OF the Pennsylvania Company
by the Pennsylvania financial interests,
which seem 10 be handling the tranSpOrta-
ton end OF the big soft coal deal. while
the Morgan interests take charge of the
financing OF the absorption of the produc-
Ing properties. II is said that one OF the
plants Of the Pennsylvania Steel Company
Is TO be turned into a shipyard for the
production of ships OF specific size. which
viii ne able 10 navigate the harbors of
southern Europe and still carry enough
coal 10 make them pay. Some have looked
upon the Leyland purchase as the estab-
lshment OF a nucleus OF this feet. but II Is
believed that these bOals have more TO do
with the expectations of the United States
Steel Corporation products"

Few Returned to Work.

CINCINNATI, july ia canvass of the
plants of the Metal Trades Association to-
day revealed that comparatively few of
the striking machinists who were yesterday
given permission TO return 10 work with
out losing caste in their union went to
work to-day. This Is accounted for by the
fact that Saturday is a half holiday, and
therefore the men prefer 10 wait until
Monday.

The Embarked
COn&reSS...

Probably the people of the country
do not yet fully realize that the house
of representatives which they will
elect next year will be allotted on a
new ratio, and will be much larger
than any house ever chosen before. In
the house of representatives which
was elected last November, and which
will meet next December, there are
357 members. In the house which will
be elected in 1902 there will be 1856
members. The ratio for representa-
ton in the house established just after
the taking Of the census Of 1890, was
one member for every ia, 901 inhabi-
tants. The ratio established under the
census Of 1900, which will go into OPP
Grafton in the election of November,
1902, Is 194,182. The next house will
be 20 members larger than the pres
ent one. OF course, the electoral col
lege will be enlarged to the same ex-
tent. The electoral vote in the can
yass of 1900 was 447. The vote in the
election of 1904 will be 476 through
the recent addition to membership in
the house, and there is a chance that it
may be still further enlarged, be-

perhaps one OF two other territories to

No state lost any members through
the recent adjustment of representa-
ton in the house and in the electoral

states gained. Arkansas, California,

Railroad
EARNINGS

Railroading. in its beginnings and
throughout its exuberant youth, says
Carl Hovey in Ainslee's Magazine, was
a business which made use of nerve,
a big head for planning and plotting
and a constant slap-dash application,
after which the returns were pretty
sure. Nowadays it is all as sophisti-
Gated as a cash register. A successful
year indicates that some one has
taken enormous pains to study the fig
ures, and that the result of his dill
gence has been a pretty ~accurate
knowledge of the class of business that
would pay. A railroad carries freight
and passengers for a living. The
managing head, in order to direct the
business proftably, must know what
it costs him to provide the service for
which the public pays. Common sense
and the instinct of self-preservation
demand this course at. once, but they
are not so forward in suggesting what
is to be done first. How can one come
Mt such a knowledge? 1t costs SO much
annually to maintain the track and
he terminals, so much to pay the sal
hries of the train crews, yardmen,
clerks, officials, and a law department,
too. How much, then, will it cost to
carry six carloads of potatoes $50 miles
out on the main line to Berryvil1e?
The problem looks like one by which
cunning pe~dagogues advise little boys
that it is impracticable to add hens
and geese together in the same sum
or useless to seek to know the cost of
seven-eighths pounds of butter in a
catch question where you are told only
the price of a pound Of lard. The diff
ference is that the railroad figures do
show a glimmer of sense. But this
proves to be a will-o'-the-wisp leading
nowhere. Nothing can be done with
them until vol have slaughtered most
of the items wholesale and arbitrarily
have selected a few promising ones
with which to do business. 'Let us
say the line carried in the year 1889
$4,000. 900 tons of freight a distance of
one mile; the work has been meas
ured, with this result, which stands on
the books as 500 900, 900 ton miles, The

According to correspondenuce issued
by the London foreign Office, SO pei
cent of the slaves of Zanzibar anG
Pemba prefer to remain slaves. Fewer
slaves applied for freedom in 900
than in 1899, because the British COM
m~issioners over, most of the slaves
know they are not likely to gain much
present advantage, seeing that those
who were thrown at their own re.
sources have a difficult time to make
a living. The masters have beer
kinder since the slave legislation was
enacted and seek to make their service
more attractive.
