POSTOFFICE ROBBED.

The postotlice, United States Ex-
press office anc Zimmerman Bros.
store at Braddock Heights station, on
the Frederick railroad, was broken
into early Tuesday morning and the
safe used jointly by the tenants was
dynamited and robbed of $40 in cash
and about $50 in stamps.
The contents of the safe and store
were scattered about, indicating that
the burglars were only after cash.
The work has the appearance OF that
of experienced cracksmen.
The robbery occurred between |
and 2 O'Clock and the explosion was
heard by a number of p 'rsons. Sew
eral cars hauling night freight passed
the station, but the crews saw and
heard nothing of the thieves work.
1t is thought the burglars had an au-
tomobile and were miles away when
the burglary was discovered.
The robbers entered through the
store door and passed through the
postoffice to the safe. Thee comhina-
ton was knocked off with sledge
and a small charge Of powder or dy-
Mantle was inserted about the cen
tire. This was not sufficient, and a
larger charge was placed in the open
ing. The explosion that followed
flung open the door and bulged out
the sides and shattered the bottom of
the safe.
The mutfied explosion was heard
by the night clerk at the l.ot'l, by
Judge of the Orphans Court, John
Mumford, who lives a short distance
down the mountain, and number
of summer visitors on the Heights,
but no attention was paid to it. The
money in the safe belonged mostly to
the express company.
The robbery was discovered when

ed for business.

Rich Coal Veins Along New
". N. Extension.
Abundance of Brick Clay and
Other Natural Riches Promise
Much Freight for New Road.

Much Freight for New Road.
"Isn't that coal? Stop the train, |
want to examine it,"
Such was the oft-repeated cxcla-
nation of Industrial Commissioner
Austin Gallagher, of the Western
Maryland Railway, on the official in
spection trip over the roads extern
sion from Cumbcrlaed to Connells-
Vile last Thursday.
Mr.. Gallagher was more than de-
lighted with the rich promises given
by the strata of the many deep cuts
made by the railroad on its new 49,
mile line, and his enthusiasm and
desire to inspect at close range soils
which gave promise of limestone,
coal, iron and friedrich clay was re-
sponsible largely for the fact that it
r, quired ~ hours and Is minutes to
make the trip.
Most important of all products
along the new line, ignoring the tre-
mcndous tonnage which the Pitts
,urgh anl Lake Erie will hand over
to til. road at Connellsville, brought
from the Pittsburgh district and tie
West, is coal Practically every cut
shows rich veins of the min r. F., Il
great many of which, it is thought,
can be mined with profit and with
out much difficulty.
Just beyond Rockwood a vein Jets
out. From this the steam shovels
used in building the road used fuel
instead of hauling coal from either
end of the line.
To provide for the future needs of
locomotives, shaft has been run
down about so yards from the track
near lockwood and a little railway
built out from which tramcars will
dump their loads of coal into the en-
CINE tenders.
Preparatory to the opening OF the
railroad number of industries had
already started plants, which as yet
have not been worked, but are get
ting in readiness for big shipments
over the new line.
Several coal mines have been open
ed. One of these is the Zimmerman
mine, between lockwood and Mcy-
crsdale. Not far from the Zimmcr-
man mine is big brick plant under
way, which could not be reached at
present by any other line and which
will soon be shipping many carloads
of brick week over the road.
"The abundance of brick clay
pleases me more than anything else, y
declared Mr.. Gallagher. There
ought to be large number of plants
working these rich deposits of clay in
, short time, particularly as there is
coal right here with which to burn it.
"Just back of these high hills all
along the line," he declared, are
fine table lands, and notice that
there is an abundance of red shale
soil. That means orchards, and par
ticularly apple orchards ~
Excellent farming lands are just
east of the Big Savage tunnel, or ON
the western slopes of the Alleghenics
and crops of all sorts are expected to
swell the freight earnings. A number
of embryo towns have also appeared
around the stations which the road
has constructed, a notable example
being Lap Station, II miles from
Cumberland, in Allegany county.
Seven houses have been built there
already.

EvlNCE TOO MUCH INTEREST
Steel Trust Philanthropy at Its Best
Is Exemplified in Recent
Transactions.

Defenders Of the steel trust have
placed much emphasis on the asser-
ton that it never has used its vast
power to the disadvantage of inde.
pendent manufacturers, VINO, they
declare. have been permitted to
grow and prosper.
According to these apologists, the
Steel corporation is a model Of dis,
interested philanthropy. So far from
seeking to monopolize the steel
trade Of the country, it continually
IS deVising some means OF assisting
its smaller competitors to make
their business profitable.
Some recent statistics supply Ger
tain details Of this philarthropic pol
Icy which may prove interesting.
For instance. there is in the Du
luth, Missabe & Northern railroad
which runs from Duluth to the iror
ranges of northern Minnesota. In
connection with another road, which
Is under the same ownership, thii
line carries one-half OF all the iror
ore used In the United States.
Some conception Of the rates tha
are charged for this service may bt
formed when 1t Is stated that thi.
road paid dividends OF $50 per cent
the first year after its control pass
ed to the steel trust, as compared
with per cent the year preceding
1t paid 145 per cent In 1909.
This concern, consequently, is moi

But how about the independents!
The rate that makes such enormous
profits possible is a tax on their bus
mess which operates in favor of The

operates to protect the WOODEN mills
of New England.

equally good, may even
work equally well for a

satisfactory, the other becomes
a nuisance. Why!
The satisfactory engine IS
one that is carefully built,
and thoroughly tested.
Thorough testing takes time
and costs money. 1t means
careful adjustment under trying
conditions. 1t is an expensive
process, but a necessary one If

mand six will also probably be waiv- ed by the committee, latter being a general request for a percentage in- crease over the rats now paid for eer- tain classes of work.
 The first demand, fixing the term of the contemplated agreement, will not be significant and may also be eliminated.
 The third demand, having for its object the check off system whereby the union dues are withheld from the pay of the members at the mine, will not be tolerated by the companies. On this point they are agreed. On the other hand 1t is an important sched- ule for the men. It includes the de- mands for increased pay but it like wise may be withdrawn so that the controversy can be fought out on the 20 per cent. raise in rates now paid, and union recognition.
 The union officials are positive in their insistence that recognition of the union will be one of the concessions of the companies. This would mean a practically closed shop" and be a powerful thing in time of other dis putes.
 Regardless of how the officials feel toward this demand, thorough can- vass among the men themselves by United Press correspondent reveals the impression that the rank and file of the employees will not hold out for strike on this question.
 Anything less than a 10 per cent. increase, 1t Is believed, however, will hardly be .approved by the men.
