over the river coal combination of west
ern Pennsylvania.
The enormity of the deal may be in
ferred from a statement apparently au-
thoritative that 1t involves properties
jointly valued at 1892 900. 900. This figure
represents the joint value OF the prop
critics of the Pittsburg and River Coal
Companies. when the merger shall be
completed The papers have been signed
and in few weeks the Pittsburg Coal
Company will assume physical control
of the River Combinations properties.
The deal is of the greatest moment to
the country east of the Allegheny Noun
tains, and particularly to Philadelphia
and its manufacturing environs, where
the use of soft. coal from the West is
steadily on the increase.
The transaction is taken TO mean that
the great railroad interests OF the Penn
sylvania and Vanderbilt systems, brought
together on community of interest lines
in the big manufacturing States east
of the Mississippi, are further shaping
their course TO hold the balance OF
power against Gould and in the manu-
featuring interests of the Eastern and

1t was further said that the anthracite

census law of 1898 This law provided
that the census reports on mining must
be completed and published by July 1.

amendment TO the law, July !, 1904, is
mentioned as the date on which the
date must be obtained" and not pub

this error as IL is termed by census
officers. of which the coal companies
were said to be taking advantage. even
if they have not decided to withhold
the desired information altogether and
