PLANS FOR MEETING
BY COMMERCE BODY
Universal Transfers and Con-
stitutiOnal AmendmentsUp.

Universal transfers and proposed
| changes in the constitution of the or
ganization will be the burning questions
| for consideration at the monthly meeting
Of the Chamber Of Commerce. March H.
Charles w. Darr. the local attorney, will
bring the transfer question TO the at
tention OF the meeting as unfinished bust
ness. Mr. Darr at the January meeting.
introduced the following resolution, serv-
ing notice that he would speak in its
support at the next meeting. This he
was prevented from doing by rush OF
business and the question was set over
for the March meeting. Mr.. Darr's reso-
luton reads:
BE 1t resolved. That it is the sense of
the Chamber of Commerce that the street
railway companies in the District OF
Columbia should be required by law to
issue universal transfers at all points of
intersection: and that a committee OF
five members of this body be appointed
by its president to draft and present TO
Congress a statute law adapted. when
enacted. to require the issuance of such
transfers
BE it further resolved. That a prize
contest among the citizens Of the District
of Columbia be conducted by this body
for the purpose of obtaining the most
logical argument in support of such legis-
latiOn, and that the writer of such thesis
or argument be awarded a prize Of So
and the writer of the second best argu-
ment a prize OF SIS. said prizes to be
awarded by a committee composed of
one member of the staff OF each of the
daily newspapers published in the District
of Columbia.
And be it further resolved, That the
sum of SO be, and the same is hereby,
appropriated from the treasury of the
Chamber OF Commerce for the purpose
aforesaid"
The proposed amendments 10 the con-
stitution involve the creation Of a new
office in the Chamber, that of general
counsel. BY the terms OF the proposed
amendment the counsel will hold office
for one year, will be exoficio a member
OF the board of directors and, like the
secretary and treasurer. Will be elected
by and subject to removal by the board
While some little factional opposition is
expected in the course Of the discussion.
1t is not believed a serious division will
result.

Anthracite Is Becoming a Luxury.

The reason for the comparatively large
gain in the production of bituninouS coal
lies in the fact that anthracite has been
for a number of years becoming more
and more a luxury, and will continue to
do so until the areas are finally exhaust
ed. The comparatively small area in which
anthracite is produced and the inCreas-
ing cost of production as deeper and
thinner beds have to be worked have re-
suited naturally in a gradual advance in
the price of anthracite and in its gradual
elimination as a fuel for manufa curing
purposes. 1t is now almost entirely re-
stricted to domestic consumption in the
Eastern States.
Large amounts of the smaller sizes of
anthracite, which were formerly wasted,
are now used for Steaming. sometimes
mixed with bituminous coal and some
times alone. but for this purpose the
smaller sizes are used chiefly for heating
and running elevators in Office buildings,
hotels, and apartment houses, rather
than for manufacturing. Even for do
mestic uses coke and gas, the products
of btuminous coal are competing more
and more with anthracite in the markets
os the larger cities and towns.

Increased Use of Mining Machines.


The number of mining machines in use
in the bituminouS mines of Pennsylvania
increased from 5,103 in 1908 to 5.616 in 1909
and the machine-mined product Increased
from 52,447.SG9 short tons to 57,JO4.ISS short
tons. The machine-mined product in 1909
represented H.6S per cent of the total
output. against A76 per cent in 1908. OF
the 5,616 machines in use in 1909, 3,Si7
were punchers, 1,10 were chain-breast.
IS were long wall, and q were chain
shearing machines. In 1S1 mines punch
ing machines were exclusively used and
in 145 mines only chain-breast machines
were used
In the mines using punchers exclusively
the number of machines was 3,l32 and
the machine-mined product was 80
short tons, or an average of 7,26l tons for
each machine. The exclusively chain
machine mines employed 1,265 machines
in the production of 24,O16,S42 short tons.
an average of 1886 tons TO each ma
chine. In making these comparisons,
however. ii should be remembered that a
large number of the punching machines
are used in entry and other narrow work,
to which NAe chain machine is not adapt
ed, and in which the tonnage won is
much less than in the straight room min
ing.

PREPAY" CARS READY.
Will Go Into Commission on Jefferson
Line, Sunday

Prepayment cars will make their
first appearance In Detroit, Sunday
when a number will be placed in com
mission on the Jefferson line These
cars differ from the pay-enter cars.
In that the steps fold up with the clos
ing OF the doors and do not unfold 10
allow the exit OF passengers until the
car comes 10 a complete stop In this
way the d. L. r. hopes 10 overcome
the danger OF accidents to passengers
in alightlng from the cars.
Commenting on the construction o;
the new car. A d. Il. Van Zandt, pub
licity agent for the ID. t. r., says
Under no circumstances will the
doors be opened for the entrance or
exit OF passengers until the car Is
brought to full stop. After the ~ -
is made the motorman will open the
front door by means OF a lever so that
passengers may leave while the con
ductor handles the levers that oper-
ATE the rear exit door and the Clt-
trance door which is also in the rear
In other respects the patrons Will find
comparatively little difference in han
ding OF passengers with this type OF
car from the method employed on
Woodward and Third
On these cars the conductors will
be supplied with boxes for the collec
