TRUST BUSTERS
Are not Working Very Well
Together.
Roosevelt and Knox Have Some Ideas
-Good Trusts Must not be Hurt =
Some Evidences Of Feeliug are
shown.

SHOWN.
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Presideut
Roosevelt and attorney General Knox
Jointly are responsible for the delay OF
the house committee on judiciary 10
reporting an antitrust bill. They
have promised to furnish Mr.
Littlefeld's subcommittee with Ger
tain information which they deemed
the committee ought to have before
the BIZ which it has under considera-
ton is reported TO the full committee
on Judiciary.
The subcommittee is waiting for
the information through spirit OF
courtesy and also with impatient re-
sentiment. Its members generally are
OF the opinion that the administra-
ton has interfe-ed enough in the
work of drafting trust bill and are
not disposed to view any furthef-in-
reference with complaisance.
Unfortunately for themselves, how
ever, they became committed to the
Presidents scheme of dealing with the
trusts when they visited the white
house one day last week and consent
ed to submit the draft OF their bill as
then repaired to the president and the
attorney general.
The president and Mr.. Knox picked
the measure to pieces. They said it
would not do at all; that instead of
regulating trusts it would hamper
and injure good corporations and not
seriously discommode bad corpora
tiOns. The attorney general promis-
ed 10 furnish suggestions to cover the
delinquencies which he found in the
bill, and the committee is waiting for
him to submit them There is good
deal of feeling among the house lead.
ers about the matter. which is inten-
sided by the suspicion that the
administration is seeking to appro-
rate more than It's share of the cred
81 for any trust legislation that may
be enacted.
Recent gossip to the effect that the
attorneys OF certain interests which
are closely identified with trusts have
been calling at the white house and
submitting terms 10 behalf of their
principals 10 New York and elsewhere
has not served to make the trust bust
ers in congress feel better over recent
developments. They do not like the
idea of playing second fiddle to the adj
ministration or anybody else, but fnd
themselves helpless to escape from the
unfortunate situation for which they
are partly responsible.
The outlook now, according to Mr..
Littleteld, is that no bill will be
ready for submission to the full com
mittee before the latter part of the
present week and possibly not until
next week. In the meantime the SEN
ate committee on judiciary is hard at
work upon N. asure OF its own and
there is fair chance that IL will
beat the house committee by day or
two in getting IL before the public.
The thought OF this catastrophe is
very distasteful TO the house trust
basters.

The Coke Trade.

The coke output OF the Connells-
vile region for 1902 was unpreeed
ented yet it did not represent what it
would have been had the railroads
met their obligations to transport
the offerings of the operators at the
close OF the year.
The figures are stupendous
Over fourteen millions of tons OF
coke were shipped out of the com
paratively small strip of territory
known as the Connellsvilie coke
region and the hitherto unknown
annex design ited by the United
States Geological Survey as the
Lower Connelsviile coke regioo
The consumers paid for this out
put at the ovens something like
$33, 100000 and to the railroads for
freight about $22,000,000, and they
were glad to get it at the piee.
With the butput about l6 5000 coo
tons of metal was smelted
1t required GA, 1913 cars to trans
port the years production of coke.
Coupled into ore train the train
would be over 1000 miles IN length.
To hau, it away would require
Train Of 80 cars every half hour day
Piled in mountain of
coke the output would lie almost as
big as Mt. Pelee, the famous volcano

ing has been one OF prosperity and
not of destruction. Mry it ever
continue so.-Connellsville Courier.

CHANGES IN THE NoRMALs.

While the matter is as yet not up
for much dlseissl'n, there is going TO
be great deal OF legislation this ses-
sion relative TO the Normal Schools.
The movement to abolish some of the
schools has large following among
the delegates, while Others are in fay-
or OF other plans.
The Fairmont school will not suffer
much for the Marion representatives
as well as many Others are looking af-
ter her, but even with this, there may
be some important changes made.
Senator Swisher has plans which he
will probably execute when the proper
j me comes.
