Pittsburg, Pa. March 3l.-The Pitts
burg delegates to the Miners National
Convention, who returned from Indian
apolis today, we're iubilant over the adop-
ton by the convention yesterday of the
Perry resolution, which permits the opera
tion of all mines where the wage scale Of
1908 is accepted
While this action practically means the
disruption for time at least, Of the
interstate agreement between the miners
and operators Of Western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, it also means
that there will be no strike of importance

tinue at work, with "a possible shutdown

independent operators refuse to sign the
new scale, probably 5000 men will quit
work in this district.
independents seen today would not
commit themselves on the question Of
whether they would follow the example
of the pittsburg Coal Co. and pay the
1905 scale of wages, but it was intimated
in most eases that tle mines OF the lnde-
pendents would operate if those OF the
combine did.
1t was stated by some operators that
the possibility Of paying the advance had
been figured upon in making coal con
tracts and that the advance was provided
for, so that the operators will in no way
suffer from their payment of more wages.

authorized the following statement:
"Some of the bituminous workers who
are now active in directing matters IN the
anthracite industry have asserted al
times that the wages in the former IN
dustry are higher than in the latter Mt
Mitchell has often intimated this, although
he has never given any facts 70 support
the claim. Il was claimed before the
Strike Commission that the earnings OF
the anthracite miners we're less than those
in the bituminous fields. and similar asser-
tons have BEEN made since. The com
mission found that there has been a
failurerto testimony to support this prop
osition.7 Il is established by the official
figures that tie earnings of all classes OF
workers arc much higher in the anthra-
cite than in the bituminous industry.
The last report OF the secretaryof internal
affairs of the State Of Pennsylvania
contains the facts as to both industries
for the year 1904.

referred to, Of which the totals, omittmg

COAL PRICES ARE ADVANCING.

Philadelphia. Pa. March 31.-Coal
prices were advanced 25 and so cents a
ton here today. Domestic sizes sold for
not less than 81 a ton and in some cases
SO was demanded and received for pea
coal. Even at this increased price coal
was delivered to purchasers only in small
quantities, few dealers being willing to
sell more than one ton 10 an individual.
Big retail dealers said today that they
had reliable information that the Penn
sylvania and Lehigh Valley Railroads
we're seizing and confiscating coal about
the mines and in transit. They also
stated that the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron Co. was holding to its sur
plus coal and refusing the demands of
dealers that their long-standing orders
be filled
There is not a supply in all the yards
in this city large enough to last more than
a month or six weeks, declared Edward
J. Cummings, senior member of the Ed
ward j. Cummings Coal Col "The rail-
roads have us all at their mercy. If

toner.
Some of the local coal dealers decided
TODAY that they will allow but one ton Of
coal of any kind to each customer. This
action was found necessary in order 10
provide a proper distribution of the coal
on hand. The demand is heavy and has
been for some time, because of the fear
of strike, and the coal merchants have
been exceedingly busy filling orders.
The dealers claim that the supply on

month, at least, and they hope by that
time 10 have more coal Coal has been
coming here in large quantities and all the
