Kentucky Operators, Bids High.

Apparently, from the independent
attitude Of coal companies toward the
invitation of the State Board of Prison
Commissioners to bid on the coal con-
tract for the two prisons and houses Of
reform for the ensuing year, many Of
them have secured good contracts for
their output in advance OF the Gov
ernment regulation fixing a maximum
price. Some of them quoted prices as
high as SO a ton on run of mine in ter
ritory limited by the Government
maximum to $1.96, and prices run all
the way down to the Government max
imum; but with the stipulation in nu-
merous instances that the company
will guarantee nothing and give no
bond for performance Of the contract.
Many of them reply that their mines
are tied up by the strike.
The Prison Board has not closed its
contracts yet; but 1t is assured that
the years coal supply will be secured
within the Government price, and
without their saying anything, 1t has
leaked out that the commissioners
have line on an opportunity to lease
coal property and get out its owr
coal and that for other state institu
tions, II operators prove unreasonable
or unequal to the task.
The new price will be an immense
increase in the cost of fuel, as the Ed
dyville prison has got coal as low a!
76 cents a ton.

The Ohio Valley Coal Operators AS
sociation, representing mine operators
in Western Kentucky, filed complaint
against the Louisville & Nashville and
Illinois Central railroads on account
of increases in rates on coal from all
points in Western Kentucky, principal
ly to Louisville and beyond. The in
creases, alleged to have been put into
effect since June Is, range from 10 to
Is cents the ton. The operators insist
that the old rates were too low and
that the new rates are extortionate.
The rates have been put into effect,
the roads assert, to conform with inter.
state increases permitted by the In
terstate Commerce Commission for the
Southern States. Attorney j. Van Nor
man, OF Louisville, filed the complaints,
listing extensive tables Of comparisons

A conflict of authority between the
Board OF Education and the trustee of
the sub-district in the Montgomery
County Consolidated School, was set
tied by Judge Carroll, of the Court
OF Appeals, deciding in favor of the
board in an injunction suit.
The law provides that teachers OF
common schools must be appointed
by individual boards upon recommen
dations by the sub-district trustee, but
that the board selects teachers for
high schools. This consolidated school
has been chartered as high school
by the State Board Of Education; but
teaches the common grades as well
The trustee conceded the riFht Of the
board to select high school teachers
but insisted on nominating seacher'
for the COMMON branches. Judge Car
