The committee representing the vari-

ride he was thrown on the pommel of

COAL BARoNs' METHODS.
hey Will Make Millions Out of the Bio
Strike.

New York, July 29.-Five million tons
of anthracite coal is within telescope
sight of New York today, but the price
VIII not be decreased penny a ton. AT
this time 100000 tons of hard coal
are stored in the storage yards short
distance from New York. and long
trains are hourly rushing the other
stores of the precious article to this
vicinity in order to leave the storage
yards near the mines clear when the
mining of coal is begun by the opera
tions on Aug. j.
Prices will not decrease, however. So
cleverly have the operators made their
plans that it is now probable prices
viii be maintained al high level dur
ing the entire winter. no matter how
much coal is mined and shipped.
eight dollars a ton is now the prevail-
ing rate for the four standard sizes of
anthracite coal, and no drop from this
scale will be permitted, no matter what
means must be resorted to in order to
keep the present rate.
1t is more now of n question of get
ting coal than What you pay for it, is
the announcement of the retail dealers
in sending out their latest scale of
prices, and the operators will see to it
that this scramble for coal continues
Nothing will be done by them to cut
down the demand for coal for months
to come and there will be a constant
succession of subterfuges adopted in or
der to keep coal at the present eXorbit-
amt rate.
The fact that the coal companies
have five million tons within easy
reach of New York, and that it is being
shipped to nearby points as rapidly as
cars can be trained to bring it, is
strong evidence of the truth of the
statements made two months ago that
the operators would use the strike as
means to add golden value to the
coal they had boarded during the busy
year of 1901 and part of 1902, when the
coal miners We're worked more con-
tinuously than at any time within the
