a few of the examples of overlapping

The ease with which the members OF
the anthracite family agree upon the
prices Of coal is also due to another
factor-the Bureau Of Anthracite Coal
Statistics. This institution sprang from
the formation Of the first pool agreement
way back in 1875, and has ever since
faithfully performed it's function Of pro-
viding each big operator and carries

mage mined and shipped and prices got
every month by all hands, separately
and together.
The pool Of 1876 was short lived. So
were those Of 1884 and 1892. but this
bureau served each in turn. as It did the
pool which lasted from 1895 to 1901. and
in between it kept the railroads In close

agreed TO confer with a committee from

United action was called for to meet the
new situation brought about by the sud

the union out OF the controversy.
The hotel men also had a meeting in
their quarters at 33d street and Fifth ave-
nue. and decided to stand pat on their an
nouncement Of Wednesday night that they
would not recognize the international Union
or meet its representatives.
Last Friday when we received a com

the Hotel Association, we agreed 10 tax
matters over with its committee under the
impression that It really represented a
substantial proportion Of the workers III

learned that It does not represent more
than 10 per cent OF them at the outside.
We therefore refuse 70 recognize 1t or meet

represented in the old organized societies
