PUTS PRICE UP RIGHT AWAY.
About the First Thing the Trust Did After
Resumption of Operations


Philadelphia, Oct. 24-In view OF
the resu- ion OF mining of anthracite
coal the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad company last night issued the
following statement. addressed to G.
E. Henderson. general manager:
Dear Sir-The reports of the su-
perintendents in charge of the mines
show that as a result of the strike
the mines and mining plants have sus-
tanned considerable injury, and their
respective working organizations have
been impaired. For some time to come
the collieries cannot be worked to pro-
duce their average quantity of coal.
This Will increase the cost of produc-
ton. Estimates have been submitted
showing the probable increase in cost
per ton at the several groups of col
lieries. The general average exceeds
90 cents per ton
Will Try to Control Retailers.
"You will. therefore. add to the cir
cular price 80 cents per ton-this adj
ditionaI price TO continue until the LIST
of January. 1903, by which time we
hope to reach normal condition of
IulHlIlB anu pTOuucllOD. NOIWlLnStanu-
ing the fact that during the strike no
coal was sold by our company at an
advance over the circular price the
price has been unreasonably advanced
to the public by some retail dealers
In the distribution of the coal. there
fore. you will so far as practicable
supply the dealers who are willing to
sell coal to the public at reasonable
prices. Where dealers seek to obtain
an unfair profit from the public you
will promptly take steps to supply the
reasonable demands of the public di-
rectly." This is signed by George f.
Baer
Amounts to Consumers Restricted.
An effort will be made to arrange
the distribution of coal so that par
ties in need may at least receive a
small portion of their wants. and with
this purpose in view dealers will be
requested to restrict the amount which
will for the present be sold to any
sonable immediate requirements. The
opinion is expressed by Henderson that
the prices for white-ash egg. stove and
chestnut COAL delivered TO householders
in the city of Philadelphia, should not
in any case exceed $6.75. Orders ac-
cepted for coal viii be subject to the
company's ability to ship. during Oc-
tober and all untitled orders will be
cancelled at the end of the month

followed. Nationalist after National

 The people will watch the out come with interest, and should the governor win out in this, as he has the reputation of doing m all other things, he will nave heapcd more humiliation upon the heads of his enemies. At any late he Is entitled to the benefit of the doubt until the charges are proven. The following from the Commercial Appeal on the sub- jeet is sensible, and we heartily endorse 1t.
 "The people of Arkansas are q proud people and they have great respect for the high office of gov ernor. They require much from those upon whom they confer this great dignity and they are quick to condemn anything that Is cal cuIated to d'm its lUster. It should not he forgotten. however that mountains are sometimes made of mole-hills and that what one holding an exalted pubic oi- heo IS condemned tor doing, an other man may do without at tracing the slightest attention. It Is quite probable that Governor Davis has taken Il drink while traVellog on the cars. Other gov ernors, and very good governors. have doue so without attracting attention. Que can scarcely think of anything more natural than to hand an unfinished flask or bottle to some old eolored man. It Is done every day in the year. Ii is very difficult to see how political enemies could take up such harmless incidents as these and magnify them into crimes of greatest turpitude.

He was lost from the other members of the party and as there was a lake between him and the camp he thought to initiate Washington crossing the Delaware would be the proper thing to do so he made him q raft, tied 1t together with we'll ask him how he fastened it together.

land let me read you one of the regu-
lations by which every member is
bound. Listen:
- That no child less than IL years old
shall work at night in any cotton or
wooden mill under any circumstances,
and that no child less than IL years old
shall be allowed to work therein at all;
unless such child has widowed mother
or physically disabled parents who are
dependent for support upon the labor OF
such child, or unless such child can read
and write, or unless such child attends
school for four months of each calendar
year; and provided further that no child
under 10 years of age shall be permitted
to work in any such mill or factory
under any circumstances. y
"You style this agreement voluntary,
Mr.. Verdery, Was it made prior or
subsequent to the proposed Legislation
on this subject?" l inquired.
''Subsequent thereto; but, mark you,
not as cause and effect, but pure coin
cidence," he replied.
"Our association further goes upon
record as follows" continued president
Verdery:
"'That we approve the liberal appro-
priation now made for general educa-
ton, and will cheerfully submit to our
part of the burdens to perfect and i'm
prove the education of laborlng people
in Georgia. -
Is the picture overdrawn by this cor
respondent? He started out with posi-
tive instructions to ascertain and state
only the truth and the true conditions
as he found them. We believe that
child labor is not only injurious to the
child but that it is also against the best
interests of the mills themselves.
We would like to see the question
settled without legislation if possible,
but unless it is then there is going to be
legislation and the best thingt to do is te
get Bill that will be just and equitable
to all parties concerned.
This position may be turned tempo
missing and compromising if you please
but we believe it right. We should al
ways bear in mind that capital without
labor is stagnation and labor without
capital is starvation. The two are de-
pendent upon each other. There shoulc
be no conflict.
