Supply of Anthracite Ex-
pected to Arrive in Wash
ington by the Middle of
November.
Philadelphia Brokers Offer
Advance, But Operators
Order That Supply Be
Evenly Distributed.

Washington coal dealers are now able
to hold out to their customers some hope
of relief in the near future from the
present stringency in the fuel market.
One prominent dealer ordered yester-
day four carloads of anthracite, which
will aggregate about ITO tons, the first
order he has been able to place since the
strike began. No promise was made by
the wholesalers as to the time the ship
ment viii. be made. or the price which
will be charged. The coal is expected
here, however. about the middle of No
vember, and the price will doubtless be
but slightly in advance of the usual
prices at this season of the year.
No Coal Leaves Mines.
The same dealer, who conversed with
several of the operators in the region
over the long distance telephone. was
informed that no coal had as yet left the
mines. One of the biggest operating
companies, which has scattered through
has promised each, without regard to
the amount of business done, six car
loads as soon as it can be mined. This
output Will aggregate in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 TONS
II coal can be purchased at the mines
for 1915, the price to Washington con-
sumers will be about s7.25. The cost
of freight from the anthracite region to
Washington is, approximately. $3.50, or
about so cents more per ton than to
Philadelphia, where the Reading Com
pany has l'romised that the price to con-
sumers shall not exceed s6.75. To the
cost at the mines, plus the cost of trans
portation, must be added 81 per ton, the
profit OF the local dealer. which will
make the ccst to the consumer $725, or
SO cents more than when the strike be-
gan.
Brokers Offer Advance.
One disagreeable feature which has
entered into tae problem of obtaining
cheaper coal is the fact, as local deal |
ers learn, that coal brokers in Philadel- |
phia are offering the independent oper-
ators an advance of SO cents a ton over
the scheduled prices for all they are
able to produce for several months.

RELIEF IN SIGHT FOR
LOCAL COAL CONSUMERS
Probable Cost of Coal
To Washington Public

and Reading Company. has sent the fol-
lowing letter to General Manager c. E.
Henderson, at the mines. advising him
of an advance Of so cents per ton until
January / on the regular circular price
Of coal:
The reports of the superintendents
in charge of the mines show that as a
result of the strike the mines and min
ing plants have sustained considerable
injury and their respective working or
ganizations have been impaired. For
some time to come the collieries cannot
quantity of coal. This will increase the
cost of production. Estimates have been
submitted showing the probable increase
in cost per ton at the several groups
of collieries. The general average ex-
ceeds 50 cents per ton.
"You will. therefore. add to the cir
cular price 80 cents per ton, this ad-
ditional price to continue until January
/. 1903 by which time We hope to reach
a normal condition of mining and pro-
duction.
Will Protect Public.
Notwithstanding the fact that during
pany 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,
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 rea-
sonable demands OF the public directly"
Pursuant to these instructions from
President Baer, local dealers expect to
receive today the new circular setting
forth prices, which will probably be 1915

change in the price at the mines. cost

themselves upon the fact that they have

STRIKE LEADERS CONFER
OVER MANY MATTERS

WILKESBARRE. Oct. 26.-The three
district presidents this morning. before
President Mitchell departed for Wash
ington, had long conference with him
regarding the conditions. They re-
manned with him till o'clock. when he
started for Washington.
The matters under discussion were
plans for presenting evidence to the
commission and the disturbing situation
in the Hazleton region, the Panther
Creek district, and at some Of the small
er collieries throughout the Schuylkill
and the Shamokin regions, where the
operators are refusing to re-engage the
men unless they sign contracts agreeing
to abide by the decision of the commits
sion and not to interfere with the nom
union workingmen.
The Washington times., 1902-10-27
Mitchell Maintains Silence.

President Michel would not say what
action has been taken. If any, but Pres
ident Duffy, of the Hazleton district, de-
clared that the men there would not
return to work il they are required to
sign the agreements. Locals, he said
have already met and agreed unani-
mously to remain on strike until the
companies withdraw the agreements.
He compared this attitude with that
of the big coal carrying companies, and
said the miners could not understand
why the smaller operators maintain
their position when the big companies
insisted upon no such proposition
One of the companies, the Mill Creek
Coal Company, has already Withdrawn
the agreement clause. and the men will
return to work there tomorrow. j. S.
Wentz G. Co., in the Hazleton district,
are to make an effort tomorrow to work
with the force of non-union men col
lected, declaring no union man will be
re- employed unless he signs the agree
ment to abide by the commissions de-
cision and agree not TO interfere with
the non-union men,

A Strike Threatened.

A strike is threatened at the HolIen-
back colliery OF the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal Company in this city tomor-
row morning. This is within a stones
throw of President Mitchell's head
quarters. The men claim that the non
union engineers are incompetent and
that they will not go TO work while the
men are engaged.

Steel Market.

Chicago, June Perhaps the fact of
greatest western Importance in iron and
steel this week has been the large buy
ing of steel rails for next years use
While actual figures are not obtainable,
Il conservative estimate is that at least
from 100000 to 10000 tons We're sold
at Chicago for 1903 delivery. The ac-
ton of the mills in announcing a con-
tinuation of present prices, $2S for
standard sections in large lots, led to
this buying. Much tonnage booked for
1902 shipment will probably be carried
over to 1903, so that the present early
purchases will not mean January de-
liveries. One fact that is helping this
early trade in steel rails is the strong
market for old material. Steel rails.
both for relaying and for rerolling, are
now selling so high that the carriers are
improving their tracks at trifiing ex-
pense. Moreover, they are able to sell
some track and shop scrap from q year
ahead at prices which encourages them
10 put their 1oadbed in unusually good
condition. The prospect is therefore,
for heavy rail trade for 1903
The strike in the anthracite coal re-
gion and at the pig iron furnaces of
the Mahoning and Shenango valleys
this week distinctly raised the tone of
the western markets. Coke, super
abundant three week ago, is now scarce
at Chicago, because of the demand from
the anthracite furnaces.
