Compromise Effected.

The dispute between Joseph B. Krc-
merry, of town, and the officers of the
Slavonian Evangelical Union, relative
to pay for publishing the official organ
of the organization, has been settled at
the national convention, which was
held last week at Braddock. BY the
terms Of the settlement the union agrees
to pay Krcmery his claims up to date,
also to pay the expenses of the numer-
Gus suits instituted during the past year.
The publisher, on his part, valves the
benefits of the contract, which was to
bind both parties until July, 1904, and
will not hold the union responsible for
the subscriptions which will accrue from
sending his paper to the members.
The Slavonic Truth, Mr.. Krcmery' S
paper, will still remain the official organ
OF the union, and the proprietor will re-
ceive $3.50 per year for publishing
notices, ETC., inserted by the officers.
The settlement is in the form of a
compromise, which is satisfactory to the
interested parties.

Miners Going to Scranton.

The United Mine Workers. leaders
yesterday afternoon made good their
promise to take the coming convention
away from Pottsville, and it was official
ly announced that Scranton had been
chosen instead Of Pottsville.
The employees of the Reading Com
pany, whose grievances will be the prin-
cipal topic Of discussion, did not want
the convention held in Pottsville, which
is the headquarters OF the company.
At conference Of the leaders many
favored not holding any convention,
but to throw all the blame for possible
strike on the operators, by Offering to
leave the whole dispute to Judge Gray.
Owing to the inability to secure ac-
commodations for delegates at Potts
Vile, however, the convention will be
held In Scranton, at Music hall, COM
mencing Monday next.

COAL TRUSTS
HARD FIGHT
New York Publisher Gives
Magnates a Scare.
Proof Of Their Violations of
the Antitrust Law Piling
Up Before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

The Interstate Commerce Com mission
returned to New York this week to con-
tinue the investigation into the COM
plant of w. r. Hearst, publisher Of the
New York journal, that the coal carry
ing railroads have violated and are
violating the anti-pooling section of the
Sherman antitrust law.
The commission declined to postpone
the hearing until the United States
circuit court has passed on the right
of the coal road presidents to refuse to
answer questions as to contracts be-
tween the coal companies and the rail-
roads.
Robert NJ Olyphant, a former presi-
dent Of the Delaware and Hudson, one
of the respondent railroads, was the first
witness. He corroborated the state
ments of the other coal men who have
testified that the price of coal to the
public is to be raised 10 cents ton a
month until maximum increase of SO
cents a ton is reached. He was not pre-
pared to say that the increased cost of
production would not exceed 80 cents.
In fixing the increase the company takes
everything into consideration.
Former Judge Campbell, the lega!
representative of the Reading system,
declared his clients were ready to con-
cede that the price of coal is about S. a
ton, and that the price will increase
until So. so is reached.
Mr.. Moot argued that as the d. and
II. Company handles no coal but from
its own mines neither the commission
nor congress had any authority to in
vestigate its prices. The commission
overruled the objections.
A question to Mr. Olyphant relating
to the 65-35 per cent contracts was OBJ
jected to and sustained pending de-
cision on the point from Judge
Lacombe.
When President Baer was recalled
yesterday and examined by Commits
sioner Prouty, in reply to the first ques-
tion President Baer said the rate on
coal charged from the anthracite regions
tapped by the Reading system about 1SO
miles to tidewater, is ST., 55 a ton. Thirty
or forty years experience had shown,
Mr.. Baer said, that the coal could not be
carried for less.
Notwithstanding the enormous in
crease of traffic." he said, 1.-The cost OF
transportation has increased. The rates
have not increased, but the cost of all
supplies, except steel rails, has advanced
within the last few years. In wages

The petition presented to court on
Monday by Borough Solicitor John j.

crease ldSJ year was 9li liSoo,ooo'
During the strike, Mr. Baer said, the
Reading system lost more than 81, 500, 900
in freight alone on anthracite.
For nearly an half hour Mr.. Prouty
questioned witness as to the fiscal report
by the Reading system and its leas-
ed lines Mr.. Prouty wanted to know
why gross item of nearly $4,000, 900
was shown in the report as ''improve-
ments" and asked for details. II do not
understand, Mr. Baer replied, "that
your commission has jurisdiction over
the way the Reading shall keep Its books
or to what account it shall charge the
moneys expended for provements."
1.-The com mission does not claim such
jurisdiction" Mr.. Prouty replied, "but
has the right under the congressional
provision to know what the railroad
company does with the money it earns,
SO as to be able to determine if its
charges are fair and reasonable"
M. S. Kemmerer, of M. S. Kemmerer
& Co, operators at Sandy Run, the next
witness, has an arrangement with the
Jersey Central Railroad for transporta-
tion. The rates, he said, on coal ap-
proximate Is per cent of the tidewater
price of the product. After a long ar
gument between counsel the commits
sion ruled in favor of Mr.. Shearn's con-
tention that the coal purchase contracts
are admissible as evidence. The COM
mission decided that the only point be-
fore the United States circuit court Isl:
"Can witnesses be compelled to submit
their contracts to the commission?"
The array of evidence which Mr..
Hearst has already presented to the
commission to sustain his charges that
the railroads and operators are wilfully
violating the law is causing the Coal
Trust much uneasiness and the brainiest
and trickiest lawyers whose services
can be bought are being rushed to New
York to save the monopolists from
further exposure of their non observance
of the laws.
In the publisher of the Journal the
Coal Trust has met foe who will fight
the "trustees of Providence" until the
public has been shown how little regard
these men have for law when its opera
tion interferes with their opportunities
to fleece mankind

CHARGES ARE SUSTAINED.

The Union says that every charge
brought against Mayor Hunts official
record has been refuted.' In tact
not one of the charges made by the
Statesman has been refuted. The
Union has practically admitted the
truth of all of them, but has simply
ATTEMPTED to excuse them on the
ground OF necessity. No one can sue
cessfully dispute the fact shown by
the official records at the city clerk s
office and the school clerks office that
Mayor Hunt has violated the laws OF
the state by selling supplies to the
CITY and to the school district, sign
ing warrants in his official capacity
to be paid 10 himself as the head OF
his company in his private capacity.
1t is also a matter of official record
that Mayor Hunts administration
secretly compromised the taxes as
sessed against national bank stock,
making the banks a present of over
fifteen hundred dollars. This settle
ment was made chiefly through the in
fuence that Cashier Burford exercises
over Mayor Hunt and several of the
cOuncilmen owing to financial Obliga-
lions to the Ankeny bank. There is
little reason to doubt that if Mayor
Hunt is reelected Boss Burford will
insist that he put through the deal by
which the city will be forced to pay
twenty-five thousand dollars for half
the Thomas ranch now owned by the
bank.
1t has been proven by the statement
of City Attorney BIandfOrd that May
or Hunt drew up the specifications for
the Morley flume and made the Allen
fasteners at his foundry, and was
therefore responsible for the infringe
ment of the Allen patent at cost to
the city of over seven hundred dollars.
These are the principal charges
made against the administration of
Mayor Hunt and not one of them has
been COntrOyerted.

Statesman under it's present editorial
management has confined itself 70 the
official record of candidates for pub
lie office. In no instance has it at
tackled any candidates private ch@r-
acter. The Union, on the other ha!:d.
does not hesitate at any time to assail
men in private life who happen TO be
opposed to the machine which it
serves. During the last year it has
published in it's editorial columns the
names of all the so-called Boxers"
and has held them up to public exc
Grafton and ridicule. By it's abuse of
insurgent republicans it came within
an ace of defeating the Ankeny legis-
lative ticket in this county last fall
and by pursuing the same course in
the present contest it is making votes
against the machine ticket every DAY.

hundred votes behind Cushman who
led the republican ticket in this coun-
ty. All that saved them from defeat
was the plea for the home candi-

and fifty weakened democrats were
induced to vote for them. There is
no reason why this plea should have
any weight with any democrat this
year as an argument in favor Of Frank
KEGS for chief of police. KEGS voted
against the railroad commission bill
to which the democrats of the state
are irrevocably pledged and thereby
forfeited any claim to democratic sup
port. By that vote he also forfeited
any right to the support of republic
cans who are loyal to the commission
plank of their last state platform.
