Pittsburg has, Dee f.-SeYen carloads
of coal taken from the strip mines near
here by volunteer diggers working under
the state mine receivers were on track
st the mines today and, according to
officials whether the cars were moved
depended upon the attitude OF a train
crew ON the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad vt Frontenac, which yesterday
declined to assist in hauling the coal.
However, members of the local railrotq
brotherhood after receiving instructions
from their national officers that they
assist in handling the coal, voted to obey
and it was expected that ii the trontenac
crew persisted in its refusal new crew
would be sent in.
The coal will be distributed in districts
where the fuel shortage is most acute.
Plans were made today for the opening
of eleven more pits

EGGS REACH TOP PRICE.

Philadelphia market quotes product Of
the hennery at SO cents.
Probably never before in the history
of the markets in Philadelphia have eggs
reached the high point at present quoted
SO to 98 cents dozen. For several
days the price has been advancing several
cents day, and even today's quotations
doubtless do not indicate that the top
price has yet been reached.
Ii the present rate of advance is main
tanned doubtless the $125 eggs will have
been reached before the first Of the year
As the Philadelphia quotations are
several cents below the prevailing prices
here, and from the retailer in Philadel-
phia, it is probable that the selling price
for fresh eggs today in the Quaker City
is not less than Sll0 or SI.15.
