statement just issued says that the
miners of the United States will make
demand for a material increase in
wages at the national convention at

says that the operators are receiving
larger price for coal than ever be-
fore and they cannot make the eX-
cuse that the mines are not paving
expenses and that the convention will
produce figures to show the total cost
of mining a ton of coal and give the
public an idea of the profit being

night, so that Ricketts, body was conf

members of the committee have re.

method of selection OF officers under

1t is claimed great injustice has
been done officers who have served
quite long time. Complaint has been
made that men were selected from
those who formerly served as, volun
teers to ill original vacancies and that
they became captains as soon as they
were appointed. Others appointed, II
is claimed, waited from four to seven
months before acceptance of thel
commissions, which date from the time
the appointment was made, their rank
being determined by the date of theif
commissions. This gives them many
numbers above West Point graduates
and others appointed from the volrn.
teers and who at once entered the
service and did much hard work while
the men who delayed acceptance were
enjoying themselves or attending to
business interests.
Another allegation made is that quite
a large number of men appointed un.
der the reorganization law immediate
ly became captains Of artillery and
were placed In charge Of guns and ma.
chinery Of which they had no knowl-
edge. 10 obviate this difficulty to some
extent the secretary Of war, with the
approval Of the committee on military
affairs, secured the resignation of sew.
enteen second lieutenants of artillery,
who thereupon were named to fill
original vacancies as first lieutenants

Frick Coke company passes from the
service of the general coke consumers
of the country and will devote Its ener-
giles to supplying the constituent COM

The removal Of this large supply Of
coke from the Independent field has
done more to stir up capital for new
coke operations than anything that
has occurred in years. During the past
month or six weeks there have been
several public announcements of the
plans Of new corporations to develop
coking plants in the western Pennsyl-
vania fields, as well as in West Viz
ginia. The latest to appear is that Of
the Union Coking and Coal company of
