HARD COAL INDUSTRY
ON PROSPERITY BASIS
Business Throughout Region Re-
spends to Million Dollar Pay
Roll in Mines.
BY the Associated Press.

HARRISBURG, Pa, November 10
PennSylvanias anthracite industry Is
back on the million-dolar pay roll basis
and business throughout the mining
region is responding accordingly.
In WilkeS-Barr Scranton, HaZleton
snd the numerous smaller cities and
burroughs effects of the largest wage
payment in more than two years are
readily evident. Merchants and bark
ers report increased activity and over
all there extends renewed confidence
In the present and future Of the indus
try which is the basis of the regional
prosperity and one of the major indus
tries of the State.
More than $4,000 miners, many of
whom had had little or no work for
months, shared the million dollars
which the collieries released on their
last pay days. To all they constituted
the first full two weeks pay they had
received since 1929.
The general optimism in the industry
today, however, is based not SO much
on the disbursement of the record pay
roll as upon the prospects ahead. Oper-
ators and miners alike, though their
weather eyes watch eagerly for the de-
1ayed arrival OF continued cold, have
prepared for q busy Winter. All agree
the industry is staging good comeback.

The DOGGY Of strikes has been ban
dSheo by stronger, continuing agree
ment between union officials and oper-
ators. John l.. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, has set up an
arbitration board, which is viewed as a
barrier against future labor troubles.

PARIS, November 19.-Pierre Laval,
farmer and stock raiser Of the province
Of Auvergne, stands ready to offer his
country's cooperation In solving the
worlds economic troubles, but at the
same time, for him, the welfare Of the
French peasant comes first.
Peasants toll must be remunerative, !"
the farmer-premier told the Union Of
Economic Interests yesterday, explain
ing that France, IAN essentially sound
nation" would join in efforts to solve
world economic troubles, but that her
exports must be defended and her home
markets protected at a time when no
one thought Of lowering customs bar
riers.
Foundation Of Stability.
"Our agriculture" he said, sis not
only traditional foundation Of our
stability, but the nearest and surest
customer for cur industry"
A greater proportion of the people is
engaged in agriculture and related en-
G,Srprises in France than in any other
of the Western Worlds great powers
and the presence, with his prudence,
shrewdness and solid character is one
Of the national boasts of France, where
the industrial population is consider
ably in the minority.
Many of the dominant figures of
French political life, including the pre-
mier, President Doumer and Foreign
Minister ArlStide BRAND, come from the
villages Of the provinces and maintain
their residence there. Premier Laval
studied law as he drove a dray in the
Auverne Village in which he was born.
Called to Account.
The premier, who was summoned
yesterday by the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee of the Chamber of Deputies, on
motion Of the Socialists, to give an ac-
count of his visits to washington, Ber-
lin and London will meet there, as
chairman, Joseph Paul-Boncour, an old
friend, who, though Socialist, is
defender of Frances announced policy
of mo disarmament without guarantees
of security"
PauI-Boncour has decided to remain
at his post in the Chamber until the
end Of the year, although he was re-
Gently elected to the Senate.
He and the premier are former pals"
In politics-Laval started out as a mill
tant Socialist-and they think alike on
many Of the more pressing problems OF

DECREASE IN GAS
SALE is REVEALED
Association Reports. Show
Steady Drop During Month
of September.
BY GEORGE E. DOYING.

NEW YORK, November 23.-The de-
cline in the revenues of manufactured
and natural gas utilities in September,
as compared with the same month last
year, was four times as great as the
decrease in revenues from consumers of
electricity, it was disclosed by a COM
pariSion OF reports just issued by the
American Gas Association and the Ma
tional Electric Light Association.
Sales of manufactured gas in Sep
TENDER showed decline of per cent
and natural gas 76 per cent, while the
revenues of all gas utilities we're down
nearly per cent, the total being $44,-
$50, $50.
The total revenue Of the electric
utilities from ultimate consumers in
September amounted to $156,913, 400, a
decrease of IL per cent as compared
with September, 1880.
Decline Was General.
The decline in gas sales volume ap-
peared to characterize practically all
sections Of the country, although not
to the same extent. In New England
September sales were 35 per cent I'M
der year ago, while in the Middle
Atlantic States the decline amounted to
less than per cent.
The most marked curtailment in
manufactured gas sales occurred in the
East North Central States, comprising
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and
Wisconsin. Total sales for September
were down more than per cent, the
result in large part of a drop of some
Is per cent in sales to Undesirable
r1ercial users.
In Kansas and Oklahoma natural
gas sales for domestic uses registered
inHFHQcpC n hut &l,;z
was offset by curtailed sales for in
dustrial uses.
The electric utilities showed de-
creases in sales to ultimate consumers
OF all classes, excepting domestic serv-
ice, which increased 87 per cent in
September, and municipal street light
ing, which increased 2.7 per cent.
Municipal and miscellaneous sales to-
gether, however, decreased 1875 per
cent, while the total of sales to all
ultimate consumers decreased "A per
cent.
Practically the same decrease was
shown in sales to ultimate consumers
for the IL months ended September 30
the actual figure being 4 per cent
Revenue from these consumers. how
ever, for the year decreased only O6
per cent. This may be accounted for
by the fact that the average annual
consumption for domestic service resi-
dental use) increased from 538 kilo-
watt hours in 1880 to 572 in 1881,
gain of 6.3 per cent. The average
monthly bill per domestic consumer
was $3.50 this year as compared with
$2.74 the PREVIOUS year, an increase of
az per cent. Tie average revenue per
kilowatt hour, however, decreased 3.8
per cent, from Gil cents in 1880 to
6.88 in 1881.

Associated Press.
Weekly News Trend.
The stock market continued its down.
ward trend, losing approximately as
much ground as last week News for
the week was not favorable and even
the markets which seemed to have
turned for the better showed reactionary
tendencies. Wheat, which had risen
23la cents since the first part Of Octo-
Der, declined 1875 cents, the price Of
copper broke to new low, and freight
car loadings continued at about 10 per
cent below 1880. The actual movement
of the market, as indicated by our price
index for 80 stocks showed a decrease of
6 points. dropping from 84.2 on Novem-
Der IA to 1872 on November 20, with all
three groups moving to lower levels.
Although the bond market was re-
dictionary, there appeared to be no great
pressure of offerings, as In the previous
week. The most pronounced weakness
was in the second-grade rails, prompted
by several unfavorable dividend actions.
With the exception Of the better grade
utilities, other sections of the domestic
list, together with the foreign group,
were generally and irregularly lower.
