ssf1e Engineering and Mining jour-
nails current issue has this to say on
the anthracite situation:
THE probability of a general strike
at the anthracite mines is the matter
of most interest this week. The reso-
lutions passed at the Shamokin con-
venton by representatives of the
United Mine Workers were of a char
acter that the great producing COM
panies would not care to grant. In fact
If the convention had DECIDED that the
officials of the mine workers should
make determined stand for the de-
mands, a strike would have been inevlt-
able. AS it is, the published state
ments of Mr.. Mitchell show a concilia-
tory attitude and lead to the sus-
picion that the conventions resolutions
asked a great deal more than the most
sa, guine delegate present really eX-
pected to get. The National Civic
Federation, at Mr.. Mitchell's request,
is now acting as intermediary between
the operators and the miners, and
everything indicates that the danger OF
a general strike is not great. In fact,
some people in the trade hint that
there are political motives back of the
kin and the calling in of the Civic Fed
GRAFTON. Be this as it may. long
drawn strike would seriously affect
miners, operators and the public, and
a peaceful settlement of points in dis
pute Is to be desired on all accounts.
TRADE in all territories, pending the
settlement of the threatened labor dis
turbances, Is not especially active.
Some consumers, particularly those
along the seaboard using steam sizes,
have been ordering in excess of present
needs in fear of a strike. Most large
dealers, however, are not buying more
coal than is necessary, feeling that as
soon as the labor outlook clears the
companies will give notice of a reduc-
tion of prices to spring buyers.
In the Northwest, with the opening
of Lake navigation probably but two
weeks away, the demand for coal con-
tinues fairly active. The supplies on
dock at the opening of navigation will
be small. In Chicago territory, trade
is quiet. There will be a considerable
tonnage on the docks when navigation
opens. Arrivals of all-rail coal are
light, but owing to the reduced de-
lnand there is no shortage. Along the
lower lakes and in Canadian territory
the market is pretty firm. Little coal
is arriving. but enough for all needs.
"In the line trade farther East and
along the Atlantic seaboard, trade is
rather quiet. The uncertainty over the
labor situation is the only disturbing
factor. IT, as is anticipated, reduc-
ton of soc per ton is made, as soon
as it is certain that there will be no
strike, there will no doubt be repet-
ton of the lively ordering of last
spring. A years experience has shown
dealers that they have nothing to
gain by delaying orders and that the
anthracite trade is no longer what it
was before Mr.. Morgan's strong hands
took control"

A Railroad Diplomat.

The appointment of w. G.. Besler to
the charge of the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey, has taken away from the
Reading railroad one of the most
promising officials who has ever been
connected with that road, and Presi-
dent Baer, in selecting General Mana
ger Besler for the responsible head
dictatorship of the Readings recently
acquired new property, undoubtedly
had in mind Mr.. Beslers recognized
ability to harmonize conflicting inter-
ests and bring not only the employees
into a harmonious organization as a
unit, but at the same time create an
esprit de corps apparently quite un-
known in eastern railroading prior to
this western mans coming to this sec
tion and, as well, also to bring about
better feeling Of the general public
toward the railroad company
Mr.. Besler will not only always be
found prompt to treat his employees
with courtesy, but the general public
who do not use his road, and especial
ly the patrons who do, will ever find
him with his hand extended to meet
everyone half way with a manly fell
lowship that not only commands re-
spect. but quickly makes everyone his
warm admirer and willing to assist,
under his direction, in working for the
general good. Mr.. Besler not only is a
model railroader, but a trade encour-
ager; for he makes it a point to inter-
est himself in the local affairs and
business industries of every locality
situated along it's line, and every agent
is virtually made a reporter, who must
daily transmit to headquarters the
news items of all matters which will
help along the company's business or
which the company can help along by
Offering it's assistance to the local peo-
pie The latch string of Mr.. Besler's
office always hangs on the outside, and
he is invtngly accessible to the en-
ploye, the patron and the information
seeker.-Pottsville Republican.

It's Own Telephone System.

l.. =. Foley, superintendent of the
telegraph department of the Lacka-
wanna, is in New York, making ar
rangements for installing the new tele-
phone system TO be used between New
York and Buffalo.
The system has never been used by
the Lackawanna. but is in successful
use on some roads, Wires used for the
telephone service will be distinct from
those used for telegraphing.
The object of installing the system
is that the various departments and
offices in each city may be directly
reached by the departments in any sta
lion along the line. At every station

while the results in 1901 We're very
near together, the changes show a
considerable divergence, which indi-
Gates that the increases We're not all
the result of the higher wages paid.
Thus, the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company had to meet considerable eX-
penses due TO damages done some of
its collieries by flood While the Della
ware and Hudson suffered in the same
way. On the other hand, the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western insti-
tuted some improvements and econo-
mics which partly offset the higher
wage cost. The conclusion to be drawn
is that the resulting increase in cost
was not large; in all probability, not
over five cents "a ton at the outside"

TROLLEYS AGAIN RUNNING
(Continued from Second Page) THE DEMONSTRATION.

First Car Greeted by a Tremendous Crowd at Church and Chapel
 Streets.
 The scenes about the city after the announcement of the settlement of the strike were unparalleled in the citys history. Thousands of people assembled about corners along the line of the trol- ley tracks in the center of the city and sang and cheered until late hour. The coming of the first car, No. 11S, in charge of Motorman Alexander Reid and Conductor H. J. McGowan, was the cause of a tremendous outburst Of ap- plause and hand-clapping, and it had | to proceed at a snail's pace through the center of the city.
 Even in the outskirts of the city hum dreds of people, when they learned that the strike was over, flocked to the curb stones and greeted every car that pass ed over the line. In West Haven there were bonffres along the tracks Satur- day night, and red lights were display ed during the evening on Church street and upper State street. Joyful demon strations were also made in Branford West Haven, Savin Rock. Mt. Carmel; in short, in about every place reached by the trolley lines.
 The first car contained a number o1 newspaper men and about a dozen o track cleaners and greasers, who quick ly got to work putting the tracks ir order after four days lapse of travel By 8 o'clock the regular schedule wal being put in shape. and by o'clocl everything was running as thougl nothing had happened.
 The cars in the early evening Wer packed with yelling crowds, the running boards and bumpers holding as man men and boys as could possibly get or and handkerchiefs waved from man cars. No accidents were reported dur ling the evening" though several time

TWO DEEDS OF SAME ESTATE.
