Competition for Anthracite

A dispatch from Pittsburg, as to
possibilities following upon an I'M
provement in methods Dy the Pitts
burg Coal company, by which re
duction in cost of Is per cent has
been made in the operations OF the
vast properties in the PitUsburg
district and in the Hooking Valley
fields. tend to stimulate hope that
eventually way may be found by
which the grasp Of the anthracite
barons can be broken. The cheap
ening reported has enabled the
Pittsburg company to secure con-
tracts which have heretofore been
captured by the producers OF
Anthracite. Recently one OF these
contracts was secured, amounting to
100, 900 tons, and it lis said that this
is only one of many which will
eventually fall to the Pittsburg COM
pany. The tendency of Eastern
consumers is to contract for soft
coal in preference to paying the
anthracite barons the highest price
of the year for fuel.
The great strike of 1902 was an
educator on the fuel question. The
people discovered that they are not
actually under the thumbs Of the
anthracite barons, although the
strike lifted the price of bituminous
coal to mountainous heights. The
dealers in soft coal greedily held on
after the strike was over, and show
ed disposition to kill the goose
that could be made to lay golden
eggs. but this year they have per-
mitted reason to have sway, and the
result is a competition which the
anthracite combination will not re-
fish.
Whenever consumers can get along
with SOtt coal they Will 90 SO, ano
leave the market for hard coal to
those who have such complete con-
troll of it that they can say in the
spring what the price will be during
each month following, and during
the winter immediately in prospect
If this falling away OF interest in the
doings of the anthracite barons is
assisted by cheapening of the btu
