believed, virtually dealt death blow
to Pennsylvania anthracite coal
trust today when it practically dis
solved the Temple from company

coal barons worked The court de-
creed that the railroads and other cor
porations interested in the company
will not be permitted to vote their
Temple stock. The decision is ex-
pected to put the comany out of bus
| mess.
For a long time it is said, the Tenn
PIE company has been sthe medium
| through which several affiliated cor
porations have secured for distribu.
ton all the products of Pennsylvania
coal nines.E This gave them a chance
to dictate prices tand otherwise con

Conference of Steel Manufacturers
VIII Consider Cut in Prices.

The stock situation has shown so little
sign Of Improvement. when 1t was hoped
that December would give evidences OF q
considerable increase in business, that a
conference of steel manufacturers to con-
slider cut in prices has been called at the
Waldorf on January 9. dinner will be
given on January Il and there will be a
series of meetings during the week
It is generally accepted that there Will
be a readjustment Of price schedules. but
large number Of Independent companies
viii object to q, drastic cut in prices. They
say that il prices are reduced from g to 81
a ton there will be little profit left II the
business. But it is probable that there VIII
be a cut Il there is any sign that sales VIII
increase with lower prices.
Further concessions in prices were re-
ported yesterday. Structural steel was
sold on basis Of s. Is for 100 pounds IN
this city, while spikes we're quoted at s. %
for 100 pounds, the lowest level reached IN
several years. Steel bars were reported as
sold in the West for as low as s. 80 for loo
pounds. as compared with the so-called

TEMPLE IRON PLANS
Coal and Iron Interests To Be
Managed Separately.

Scranton. Penn, Dec 29-The Temple
Iron Company, pending its appeal to the
United States Supreme Court from the de-
cision Of the Circuit Court declaring It
an Illegal combination, has decided that the
coal and iron interests Of the company
shall be dissociated and managed sepa-
rately.
The proposed step means that the coal
business OF the company viii be transacted
on lines similar to those adopted by the
Lackawanna and other coal carrying rail-
roads when they separated their coal and
railroad interests as the result of the
commodities clause decision. The fifteen
collieries now grouped and operated col
lectively by the Temple Iron Company will
be managed separately, each colliery main
tanning its identity as an individual organ
ization. with its own set Of officers.
a F. Law will become president OF each
company. He has resigned the vice-presi-
dency Of the Temple Iron Company to give
his undivided attention to the operation
CT the colieries. Mr. Law. however, re-
tstns the ueasurership of the Temple Iron
Company. Formal notice announcing this
change will be issued tomorrow:
= series Of conferences have been held
70 do with the Temple Iron Company,
which was decided by the federal courts
to be an illegal combination, and It has
about been decided 10 form a new COM
pany 70 take over the stock Of the Temple
company.
This stock would bs bought by banking
interests friendly to the railroads but hav-
ing no direct connection with them, and
z-niIe II WAS not believed or expected that
there would be any conflict between the
roads and the new company. there would
be no obligation on the part Of the new
owners 10 follow the wishes Of the rail-
roads.
In this way II was thought the objections
OF the government would be suruaountsd
The decision against the Temple Iron Com
pany will be appealed to the Supreme
Court, but IN the mean time the new plan
may be put into effect without waiting for
= decision from the final court
