8. Il. PETERS.
Both Of Opinion that Operators and

wards Consumers.

NEW YORK, June S.-The Interstate-com-
merce Commission returned TO New York
to-day to continue the investigation into the
complaint of w. r. Hearst that the coal
carrying railroads have violated and are
violating the anti-pooling section of the
Sherman antitrust law.

month until a maximum increase OF so
cents a ton is reached. He was not pre-
pared to say that the increased cost Of pro-
duction would not exceed 30 cents. In fixing
the Increase the company takes everything
into consideration. In the whole history. of
commerce there never was anything as ig-
nerant and stupid as the way the coal busi-
ness has been conducted. considering the
usefulness and necessity of coal and its
limited supply. Mr.. Olyphant said he
doubted If his company made any money
when coal was selling In New York at "a
or less. For the last ten years the profits
OF the company have been about per cent.
His company Increased the price, he said,

Mr.. Shearn read from the record the con-
tract between j. j. Jermyn and the Sus-
quehanna Coal Company. made on Nov /,
1900. BY that contract the Jermyns agreed
TO sell the entire products OF their mines
TO the Susquehanna and Western Coal Com
pany at certain prices, ranging from 80
per cent OF the tidewater price realized by
the pea coal Ia IS per cent realized for
stove and chestnut coal. A ton OF coal
under the contract means ,2f0 pounds and
an allowance OF l per cent. is made by the
seller for wastage. A clause TO the contract
SAYS IL the price at tidewater shall be less
than $3.50 per ton for sizes greater than pea

The second week of the strike of the
textile workers of Philadelphia opened
Monday with no gain in advantage for
either side. There were no Developments
in the struggle, each side waiting for the
other to make move.
In consequence of the refusal of the pro-
prietors. of the large bakeries in Baltimore
to grant the demands made recently by the
journeyman bakers union, general strike
was begun on Monday, and 1t is estimated
that about 2l2 men are idle.
Two additional restaurants were tied up
by the striking walters and cooks at Chi
cago on Monday. The employees of the
Union League Club also quit work. Nearly
a score of managers and proprietors visited
the strikers headquarters and signed the
scale.
Over LOO employees Of the American Can
Company at San Franciscvo. went on strike
Monday. The walkout was due to differ
ences between the canmakers' union and the
company relative to the demand Of the en-
ployes for increased wages and shorter
hours.
The employees in the finishing rooms in all
the coarse paper mills at Hoyoke, Mass.
have struck because of dissatisfaction with

tuck No. division. There are about 1900
employees in all the mills.
Four thousand men were thrown out of
employment at Pittsburg Monday, and by
the end of the week II Is expected that
$4,000 more will be idle as the result OF the
action of the Builders League in ordering
n general suspension of all building work
until an adjustment of the differences be-
tween the stonemasons and bricklayers has
been reached. No question of wages is in
volved. The trouble was caused by the re-
fusal of the stonemasons to join the brick
layers union.
