tial amount every year.
Mr.. Truesdale resists the demand for
q reduction Of 20 per cent in hours Of
labor. saying that no such branch of
business employing thousands Of men
can hope to compete successfully in
the markets of the world IL Its hours M
labor are sFestf eds q He declares th8t
there Is no unjust discrimination in
the weighing of coal, as it is measured
rather than weighed, and he asserts
that the demand is "out of all reason
and its effect SO far as the company is
concerned, is a demand for an addi-
tional increase in the wages now paid
miners from to 40 per cent.
The present system of measurement
is said to be the result of long usage
and fair to all concerned.
President Olyphant of the Delaware
and Hudson company in his reply de.
clares that the wages paid by his COM
pany are just and adequate. He also
says that chose of it's employees who
perform contract or piece work as a
matter of their own volition, work only
about six hours day and take nu-
merous holidays without the consent
or approval of this respondent and
their earnings by hours of actual work
are, therefore, much higher than those
in any similar employment"
Against Change of System.
Denial is made of all the allegations
in connection with the demand for
shorter hours and it is contended that
such reduction necessarily would in.
crease the price of coal. While ad-
mitting that the mine owners sell
their coal by the ton, he says that the
coal thus sold is very different arti
Gle from that taken out Of the mine
Hence he contends against the change
from the present system of payment to
that of paying by the ton.
President Olyphant also takes ex.
ception to the proposition to arbitrate
the question of the recognition of the
miners union. This position is placed
on the ground that the aorganization
seeks to control the entire fuel supply
OF the country; that as the. union is
unincorporated,, it is incapable Of max.
ing binding contract and that the
association has shown it's inability to
control it's own members. He says his
company has no desire to discriminate
against members of the union.
President Fowler's Contention.
President T. p. Fowler speaks for
the Scranton Coal company and the
Ekhill Coal and Iron company. He
says they own ten collieries and worl;
5000 men. He asserts that if the aver
age wage earned by the anthracite
piece workers is less than that paid
to workers in other employment it is
because they fix their own hours OF
labor and the amount of their earnings
without any regard to the interests or
wishes of their employers and in total
disregard of tho earnings and welfar"

Truesdale follows closely the lines of
Mr.. Baer's argument Jas to the dis
similarity between the work in the
anthracite mines and that in bitumin-
ous mines. He declares that it is i'm
possible to adopt q uniform rate to be
paid to the miner for a unit of coal
mined at all mines. The declaration is
also made that the anthracite miners
as rule do not work as many hours
a day as do the bituminous miners and
the opinion 10 advanced that If the
wages Of the anthracite miners had
been less than that of other working
men they would have found employ
meat elsewhere, which they did not
do until they reaohed the point Of

Commenting on the recent change in
the operations of the dining cars on the
New York Central, and the improve
ments now being made in the service,
the New York Commercial Advertiser
says: In most dining cars the kitchen,
situated in one end of the car. opens
into a passageway inside of the car, and
the fumes Of the cooking and occasion
ally smoke are waited into the car while
passengers are at the tables. All the
dining cars on the New York Central
are being constructed so that there shall
be no opening from the kitchen into the
interior Of the car. The only approach
to and exit from the kitchen will be by
way OF the platform vestibule, about
half of which is made a part of tlls
kitchen This change will be greatly
appreciated by patrons of these cars
The dining car service on the New
York Central is now under the direct
charge of the General Passenger Agent.

perfect as possible in every respect.
