COAL TRUST'SLATES7
Operators Plan to Take Over
Retail Business.
MAY CUT WAGES NEXT YEAR


to Keep Down Prices Of Anthracite
Declares Improved Mining condi
tions Are Costly.
New York, May 1S. - "Anthracite
coal will advance in price to manu-
facturers and householders next April
when the present agreement between
the operators and the miners shall sx
pire'
This statement was made by al
operator who is high in the councils o1
the anthracite combine, known as thu
Temple Iron & Coal company.
He attached two provisos to his
statement. The first is: Unless the
miners shall consent to accept re
duction in wages.
The second is: Unless the great
railroad companies, which own the an
thracite mines, shall be permitted tt
take over the retailing of coal, and the
provisions of the rate law, compelling
divorce of railroading and mining
shall be repealed.
If the first contingency shall become
a fact a strike will be inevitable. The
miners, so say the chiefs, will no
yield the advances they won in the
bitterly fought strike of 1902.
The danger OF strike. with the
consequent disturbance of industrla
conditions and heavy losses in al
lines of trade, has caused the oper
ators to cast long glance forward tt
the establishment of retail stations fol
the sale of coal.
"If we were permitted to sell oul
coal unmolested by the federal govern
ment," said the operator in question
land if we were to take over the re
failing of anthracite, we should Dt
enabled to supply the householder!
and manufacturers at the same o.
even a lower rate than they pay to
day and at the same time pay oul
workmen better wages.
Improvement of mining condl
tions," he continued, has put up th'
cost of mining so much that it will bt
a physical impossibility for us to sci
coal at the present retail prices afte
next April, unless the selling condl
tions shall have been changed. l have
advocated that a frank statement O
our dilemma be made to Presiden
Roosevelt and the interstate com
merce commission. That statemen
should ask for approval of the plan To-
taking over the retail business.
''The public generally has no con
ception of the mining cost under MOD
ern conditions. Electric haulage, th'
increased cost of timbering, the ex
penses entailed by conscientious re
gard for the safety of our workmen
the money penalty entailed by the en-
forcement of the salutary child labo
law of Pennsylvania, the construction
of modern, well-lighted breakers ant
sanitary houses for our employees
these are few of the things that mus
be borne by the operator
The operator made no reference II
the high rates which the railroads
charge for the hauling OF their owl

THE STORY.

cd EGONE! Thinkest thou that the
- king hath time for such as yer"
and az he spoke the gate keeper thrust
back the two women who sought en-
trance to the palace. With q look Of
pain and disappointment they skunk
back into the shadow Of the gateway.
and watched with envious eyes the
groups Of people passing to and fro
through the gate. Their garb pro-
claimed them as belonging to the
poorer class. and the certain condi-
tions Of dress and bearing indicated
plainly their character and the ques-
tionable manner Of their life. and had
not the gate keeper been busy with
the constant stream ek-people passing
In and out Of the palace grounds
he might have been curious to
know what could have brought them
thither. And while they made no fur
ther attempt TO enter, they fingered
near, Offering striking contrast to the
important looking oficials who found
such ready entrance to the palace.
It was during the early part Of
King Solomon's reign that our story
opens, and king and leaders from ali
over the land were busy efIecting that
Organization which later became the
marvel Of nations far and near. With
clever foresight he pioked leaders from
all over the realm and gave into their

Another cherished Illusion has been
shattered, Senator Taylor OF Tennes-
see, lovingly called throughout the
union "F1ddling Bob" doesn't play the
fiddle after all. He has entered for
NAL denial. Pretty soon somebody will
be saying that Congressman Rich
mond Pearson Hobson OF Merrimac
fame never kissed pretty young
hero worshiper. Representative
Hughes of New Jersey asked Senator
Taylor about his musical accomplish

Haven't played fiddle for dozen
years." said the Tennesseean. THAT
