ARE GLOOMY
OVERFLOW
STORE COUP
Coal Merchants Handle
Kaufman & Wolf Without
Gloves, Incidentally Hugh
Meikle Gets His-Dealers
Discuss Dust Ordinance.

When the price on 1000 tons of coal
placed on the market by the Lion store
went down. the other coal dealers in
the city went up in the air.
At a meeting of the coal dealers last
evening, in the office of William ALL
born, the firm of Kaufman & Wolf
was hauled over the coal. so to speak.
for dipping into the coal business, re-
sulting in what the coal men believe
to be disastrous competition.
Hugh Meikle, one of the city's big
coal men, had entered into an arrange
ment with the Lion Store to deliver the
1000 tons of coal at practically cost
price, and while the Lion store placed
the coal on the market, it was done
merely as an advertisement to ge
patrons to come to the basement OF the
big store. and there place their orders
and then incidentally see the many
other bargains. 1t was great advertis-
ing for the Lion store. but. according
to the coal men, little profit for Mr..
Meikle and ruinous competition for
them.
MeiIxle VIII BE "Good" Hereafter.
Mr.. Meikle was at the meeting last
evening. and is said to have assured
the other coal men that hereafter he
would be good, thing which is not
very hard to do in view Of the fact
that profit on the deals must be small
The patrons of the Lion store, how
ever, who have placed their orders have
the assurance of the Lion store that
the coal VIII be delivered, as per con-
tract
Another matter which was brought
up for discussion was the ordinance
passed last Monday evening at a spe-
cial meeting of the council. The or
dinance provides that coal must be
wetted and sprinkled by the coal deal
ers practically every time they handle
It. Leaving aside the question as to
the increased cost of handling it, If It
necessary to sprinkle all of 1t, the coal
men denounced the ordinance as i'm
practical. for the reason that it will be
a hardship on the coal men, especially
IN the winter time. wheE the wetted
coal is bound to freeze together.
Politics Mixed in Agitation.
The underlying motive I'M the or
dinance is said to have been due to an
agitation by property owners whose
objections were aimed against the G.
p. Stout coal yard, on Kane street,
east of Soh1 street and against the
dust and dirt created by the Erie Coal
Storage plant Councilman John Pas
caly is further credited with having
taken the opportunity by the foreiock
and caused the calling of a special
meeting Of the council, thus getting in
some spectacular work, which is ex-
pected to give him prestige with the
