MIX ON COAL DEMANDS.
Miners, after Conflicting State
ments, Send Them to Baer.

There seemed TO be general confusion Of ideas
yesterday among the members Of the committee
OF seven anthracite miners who have been at work
Tor more than week on the demands to be sub
Tnitteo TO the operators as to whether they had
been sent TO any one, or. If not when and 20 whom
they would be sent. So many Irreconcnable state
ments were made. evidently with the best inten-
lions that the proverbial Philadelphia LAWYER could
not have made them harmonic
Despite the official statement Of Friday night
that the demands had been formulated and sent
10 President Baer of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
after being approved by the full scale committee
this committee had another try at them yesterday
forenoon The committee met In Auair's Hall. Sd
ave. between 10Th and 18th SITS. and remained in
session for an hour or two.
When this meeting was over all the members
OF the committee. with the exception Of President
Mitchell OF the United Mine Workers and the sec
rearies and presidents OF the three anthracite dis
tricts. returned TO the mining regions Mitchell de-
MED that the demands had been sent 10 MT Baer
we are sul working on them" he said I'VE
believed last evening that would be able to send
them by mail, but later decided that they would
need further revision
The original subcommittee OF seven then took the
demands in hand again in NIitchelps room at the
Ashland House Mitchell looked tired and after a
short absence from the hotel returned and Joined
the committee.
Some Of the members OF the committee were asked
what was going One said that the demands had
DcSH sent dnCIfler tnat they WONiC be sent IN
the evening. Others said that they might not be
sent until Monday.
Finally District President T. D. Nichols went to
BIitchelrs rooms and remained ten minutes When
he returned an official statement made that the
demands had been sent 70 M Baer and that Nj CHI
ell later would send a detailed report to Mr. Will
Some Of MitchelPs friends. however said that
the demands had been sert to Air. Wilcox.
II seemed to De the general belief that strike Of
anthracite miners would take place unless tie oper-
ators changed their minds before the demands were
submitted. II is understood that the demands en-
brace all that the operators have already said they
would not concede.

II is believed IN Brooklyn that the State
Gas Commission win order the Brooklyn Union
and Its allied companies serving the Borough OF
Brooklyn to reduce the price of gas in Brooklyn
to s. cents a thousand The order of the State
Commission reducing the price In Manhattan
to so cents knocked the Wall Street price of
the Consolidated shares down from IT'S to 1907
somewhat similar drop is expected in the
shares Of the Brooklyn Union when the order
Tor the reduction in the price of Brooklyn gas
is issued
II is understood that the State commission
mas discovered that the cost of distributing
gas In Brooklyn. because Of the greater area. is
greater than in Manhattan, this item alone
Jusufying a slightly higher rate for Brooklyn
than for Manhattan
In Wall Street yesterday it was said that the
State Commission found that at so cents the
Consolidated company would be able to furnish
gas In any quantity and make a profit OF per
cent The Brooklyn Union Company in a formal
statement, alleges that it costs that company
~ cents a thousand feet TO produce and dis
tribute gas. If this is approximately correct
the State Commission, 1t was said would not
De justified In ordering an 80-cent rate. The
commission has the Union Company under in
Vesugaton. and IL is expected that there will be
an order In about two weeks reducing the price
