THEY ACCUSE UNI0NISTS
MEMBERS OF SAM PARKS UNION
SUSPECTED OF CAUSING EX-
PLOSIONS IN BUILDINGS NOW
BEING ERECTED.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, Dec. 14.-Explosions
ings, which members of the Employ
ers' association are putting up, are be-
lieved by the police to have been the
work of the Sam Parks gang. One Of
the explosions, in the new Broadway
Tabernacle, at the northeast corner Of
Broadway and Fifty-s street did
no damage The other, in the new
Acker, Merreu & Condit building, at
100 West F'orty-third street, partly
wrecked hosting engine used by the
iron workers.
/ In both buildings the iron workers
employed are members of the New
York Housesmiths' Union. the recent
~ organized rival of Parks House
smiths and Rridgemen's Union, local
No. 2 of the Structural Iron Workers.
The contractors who are putting up
the buildings have had trouble with
Parks Grove and have had occasion
before to seek police projections
That the explosion that woke up the
neighborhood half an hour after mid
night was in the Tabernacle building
is the belief of the neighbors, the
Waterman on duty, the police and one
Of the architects, but nothing more
than a wreath of gun powder smoke
remained by way Of trace.
The second explosion, which oc-
CURED about 3 @ CLOCK, left plenty OF
evidence. Pieces of wrought iron
| were ripped off the hoist engine, a
| heavy cover was torn off and hurled
| ten feet away, the glass over the steam
gauge was cracked and two windows
| in a house sixty feet away were
smashed. The report of the explosion
was heard a mile away. The police
are Investigating.
President Buchanan of the Interna.
| tiOnal Association of Bridge and Strl1c.

! men belonged, said that he was sure
that union men had nothing to do with
! the explosions.

THE STEEL TRUST BUYS
TEE STEEL TRUST SAID TO BE
PLANNING TO BUY IN THE
PROPERTY. =
Special to The Journal,

New York, Dec. 14.-The statement
is made by heavily interested stock
holders of the Consolidated Lake SUI
perior company that representatives Of
the United States steel corporation are
prepared to buy the properties Of the
company at the 500, if sold at auction
by Speyer & Co., under foreclosure by
the stockholders. It is further said
there is only a slight possibility of the
M of1y reorganization committee Of
Philadelphia bidding for the property
and that, by agreement, Speyer & Co.
are to buy it in and then turn it over
to the Steel Trust as soon as the title
is approved by Judge Lynde Harrison.
A director Of the company, inter-
viewed to-day, declined to say any
thing regarding the steel trusts buying
the property, but admitted he had
heard rumors to that effect from an
other source. It was learned. how
ever, that the committee has decided
to take every legal step possible to
save the property for the shareholders
and that litigation surely will follow
any attempt on the part of Speyer &
CO. to bid in the plants for the steel
trust or for any other corporation.

HAULED 10000 CARS OF COAL
Reading company's Record Breaking
Total For Last Week.

Reading, Pa, Jan. 12.-The Phlladel-
phia and Reading railroad officials
claim that for the week ending lest
night more anthracite coal was taken
down the main line than for any pre-
vious week in years. The total is TO-.
200 Of all classes of cars, or an average
of LOO cars for each working day Of
the week, equal to nearly 225,000 tons.
This was distributed in the companys
territory as far as New York and along
its branches in this state and else
where.
The coal famine throughout this sec
ton has reached such an acute stage
that many industries in the smaller
towns will soon have to close, and IN
the country districts the distress is so
widespread that teams have started
for the Schuylkill county coal fields,
30 or 40 miles distant, to supply
pressing necessities.
In answer to the criticism that if
so much coal is mined and shipped,
why does It not relieve the famine, It
is stated that there are many indus
trial establishments that do not use
coke or bituminous, and that many
scores Of these must be supplied with
anthracite to keep them in operation.

COAL RAILROADS
ARE CRITICISED
Certain Companies Accused
of Aiding Independents
"in Hold-ups'
GIVING THEM ALL POSSIBLE AID

crlsieisrs cigclssd Against President
nser. As Head CT cosl Companies,
During tho osrilsc-sales Agents
Big Commissions.
Philadelphia, Jan. 12.-The action Of
the anthracite coal companies in modi-
flying their contracts with the indiyid-
ual operators TO enable the latter TO
share in the general hold-up Of the
public is beginning to provoke sharp
criticism as the effects are becoming
apparent in further increased prices
for anthracite and a decrease in the
quantity OF low-priced coal marketed
by the big companies themselves.
These criticisms, while applying to
oil the companies are directed more
particularly against President Baer. Of
the Reading, as tho head and front Of
the various coal companies during the
controversy with the miners. and as
the leader in the movement to keep
prices as nearly normal as possihea
to protect the public from extortion.
The only official explanation of this
action on the part of The big compa-
MES has come from President Baer. Il
was exceedingly briei and to the effect
that the companies were no longer able
to control the individual operators and
that while the contracts were per-
fectly valid and drawn with proper
I, provisions for arbirating differences,
the companies were not certain Of
their contention as to the market price
should they attempt to enforce the
contracts in court.
In addition to consenting to the mod
ifcation of these contracts all the ma.
chinery Of the companies has been
placed at the disposal of the indie
pendents to aid them I'm marketing
their coal. In the case of some Of the
New York companies the sales agents
are said to be disposing Of the inde-
pendents' output. and besides receiving
the usual commission Of 10 cents pei
ton, it is charged that they have en-
tered into an arrangement with the in
dividual operators under which they
are to receive an additional commits
sion Of 10 per cent on every dollar re-
ceived over and above the New York
tide circular price of S.. making the
commission TO the sales agents at the
prevailing open price of from $40 to
S11 in that city, from 60 to 20 cents
per ton.
