MAURY DOVE COMPANY ad-
vises it's patrons and the PUBLIC gen.
orally that the advances in all materf-
ais, labor, etc., which enter into the

been SO enormous that it has been COM
PEELED to advance the price of AN
THRACITE COAL Csc per ton, to
take effect Tuesday, October 10, 1916.
The discount of 15c per ton for cash or

MEET WITH
 OBJECTION TO
 SETTLEMENT
Railroad Executives Find Too Much Difference
 Of Opinion.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-President Wilson's suggestion to the railroad executives yesterday that in order to meet the extra expense that would follow the inauguration of an eight hour day to all employees, to increase their revenue by raising the rates; and which was thought would result in an amicable settlement of the diff fculties, met a stumbling block to- day, resulting in a postponement of all efforts along that line
 At the meeting of the railroad executives last evening, difference of opinion led to the discovery that not long ago the Interstate Commerce Commission, on the application of the railroads granted raise, at the same time promising to the shippers that it would not be increase any more.
 The discovery is considered a stumb- ling block that cannot be overcome unless by the consent of the commits sion and the shippers. Thus, in order to comply with the law, the majority of the railroad executives are of the opinion that labor and congress alone have the power to extricate the rail roads from the predicament they have been placed into. Another conference is in progress today

Great Copper Fields
 Have Been DisCOveed

NEW YORK, Aug. z3.-The discov- cry of the Canadian Arctic expedition headed by Vilhjalmer Stefanssen of a great field of native copper in the vi cinity of Copper Mine river, in the neighborhood of Prince Albert Island will prove of great value to the busi- ness world, says Dr. Chester A. Reeds of the American Museum of Natural History. Dr. Reeds believes also that it will afford scientists an opportunity for displaying their ingenuity in find ing an outlet from a region that is Still uhcpened in a commercial sense.
 The work of the party which arrived in Nome, Alaska, on Tuesday is ex- pected to prove valuable in determin- ing the direction of winds and the moyemert of tides in the Polar re- zion. D. Reeds said this work might go 1oIy way to prove or disprove the theory that an unknown continent exists in he great unexplored region north of Alaska and west and north west of Greenland.
