SOME SENSATIONAL REMARKS
The Joint Conference of Operators anil
Miners at Pittsburg Characterized by
Lively Speeches - Mr. .Mclfrlde'ti
Gloomy View of the Situation.
By the United Press. I
Plittsbui-g, Pa., Dpc. 28. The opening
St'Bslun of the Joint conference of the
operators and miners of the Pittsburg
railroad coal district was marked by
several sensational utterances In which
John Burns, M. P., the great commoner
of England, came in for a stirring re
buke, delivered In stentorian tones by
Colonel W. P. Rend, the well known
Coal operator, of Chicago, and owner of
several mJnes In the Pittsburg district.
The other feature was a plain but forci
ble statement of the situation In Pitts
l)iirg mining circles as presented by
John MeBrlde, president of the Unllted
Wine workers, and president-elect of
the American Federation of Labor, In
Which he openly avowed that the con
ditions today were worse than prior to
the general strike.
Mr. Chapman, of the Standard Coal
tompany, was chosen to preside. Chair
man Chapman suggested that John
Burns, who was yet In the lobby, shouM
be Invited to a seat in the convention.
"When a motion to this effect was made
Colonel Rend arose and said:
"Mr. Chairman, I object to the cour
tesies of this convention being extended
to Mr. Burns, who Is here fur the dou
ble purpose of discussing labor matters
and also slandering and vlllifylng
American institutions. Mr. Burns is a
utranger in America; it Is therefore be
fitting that he shall observe the decen
cies and proprieties of the position he
occupies. These proprieties he has con
stantly violated by his malignant at
tacks upon our Institutions. I would
advise that Mr. Burns return to the
country from which he came and criti
cise the customs, manners and Institu
tions of his own land, which he will
find Infinitely more deserving of his
criticism and abuse than anything he
can find here. I know it Is the custom
for "blarstod Britishers" to Indulge in
Improprieties similar to those against
"which I protest In ithe case of Mr.
Hums. It Is about time for American
manhood to resent the offensive con
duct of these men. I have no objection
whatever to listening to the views of
Mr. Burns upon labor matters, or so
ciology. My protest Is simply directed
against a glaring abuse that has be
come In this country intolerable."
Chairmnn Chapman Confused.
As Colonel Rend resumed his sent
there was an unbroken silence. Mr.
Burns, who stood and listened
nil the time, moved just a lit
tle from a studied position he
had assumed at the beginning.
Chairman Chapman, just a trifle con
fused, arose and put the motion to seat
Mr. Burns. It was carried, there being
but one dissenting voice. Colonel Rend
had voted "No." Not having a voice
In the convention Mr. Burns had to
remain silent.
Colonel Rend again secured posses
sion of the floor and for half an hour
addressed the meeting, telling the story
of the dispute between iminers and
operators and the causes leading to the
differences. Then followed President
John MeBrlde with his address.
The committee of operators and
miners was appointed and the conven
tion adjourned at noon.
LUMBER KING MISSING.

a Dig Note.
By the T'nited PreM.

bois, at the court house iliere, and exe
cutions are in the hands of the sheriff.

tried to have the note discounted at Big
Run and Punxsutawney. .

away that
dull and mot

comes from stomach derangements.
Even in chronic and stubborn cases of
sun disorders, like eczema, it is the
prescribed remedy.
The blood, the liver, the stomach,
the kidneys all arc acted upon power
fully, but naturally, by the Carlsbad
Sprudcl Salt You get the same bene
fit, the same cure, the same feeling of
lightness and clearness all through
your system, as if you were at Carls

Beware of the many Imitations -sold
as "improved" or artificial" Carlsbad
Salt. These are only mixtures of
Seldlitz Powder and common Glauber
Salt, sold by unscrupulous dealers for
the larger profit they yield.
Insist upon the genuine Imported
natural Carlsbad Sprudcl Salt, which
Is evaporated from the Sprudcl Spring
at Carlsbad, and bears the seal of the
city and the signature of "Eisner A
Mcndclson Co., Sole Agents, New York,'

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
The Delaware,, Lackawunna and
Western Railroad company lias de
clared Its usual quurteily dividend of
1 per cent, payable Jan. 21, 1895.
Buioks close Jan. 2 and re-open Jan. 21.
The report of the Pullman Pulace Car
company for the year ended July 31,
1894, shows gross earnings of $9,595,067,
a decrease of $1,794,829. Disbursements,
274,050; a decrease of $108,798, and net
surplus, $2,220,417; a decrease of .$1,-
686,031.
Since the double tracking of the Le
high Valley mountain cut-off the rumor
is again going the rounds that the com
pany Intends running two of Its fast
express trains over this route and not
pass through Wilkes-Barre, In order to
save a few miles between New York
and Buffalo.
A meeting under the auspices of the
Lehigh Valley railroad stockholders'
committee will be held in Philadelphia
on Jan. 2, at which all the security hold-
era -who are opposed to the present
management of the company have been
Invited to attend. At the coming meet
ing there will be speakers who have
been conversant with the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad companyfor years.
Thomas Davis, who recently resigned
his position as stationery engineer
under the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany at No. 2, York town, has accepted
a position with the Lehigh and Wilkes-
Barre Coal company in the capacity of
general foreman ut the Tresckow West
No. 9 coal stripping. Mr Davis filled a
like position under the old Yorktown
Coal company for a number of years.
Wilkes-Barre Record: "A number of
miners In the Lackawanna region have
prepared a etltlon to Representative
arr asking him to present a bill in
the legislature regulating the kind of
ill to be furnished miners. The peti
tion says the oil now furnished is more
disastrous than the powder smoke be
cause it is more of a gluey nature, so
that when anyone Is breathing it for
many years he will complain of catarrh
and asthma. They ask that the com
panies be compelled to furnish pure fish
oils."
The committee of railway representa
tives which Is to consider a reappor
tionment of tonnage percentages Is to
consist of a representative of each In
terest and when they agree upon a re
port a meeting Is to be held in New
York at whiuh it will be presented. The
Philadelphia Press hints that there is
disposition to tide over the question
until the bill legalizing pooling now be
fore the senate of the United States Is
acted upon, and, therefore, it may be
some time before an agreement Is
reached. In the meantime it is under
stood that the polity of restriction will
be continued.'
Now York, Dec. 28. At a meeting of
the general sales agents of the anthra
cite coal producers held today In the
offices of the Pennsylvania Coal com
pany, in ithe Washington building, It
was decided to restrict the January out
put to 45 per cent, of last June's pro
duction. This moans that the anthra-
Ite coal mined during January If to
day's agreement Is adhered to will
amount to between 2,200,000 and 2,300,
000 tons. The present tidewater pnices
were not altered, although It was ex
pected that they might be raised if the
companies had stood to thulr agreement
and there tiad been no cutting In prices.
The gross 'pnices at tidewater are $3.50
per ton for broken coal; $3.60 for egg
and chestnut, and $3.75 fur stove. There
waa a full attendance at the meeting.
By the unanimous vote of the stock
holders of each, three projected railway
lines in the western part of the state
have been merged to one. The lines are
the Loyalbanna and Youghiogheny
railroad, the Phlladelphlaand Pittsburg
railroad and the Pittsburg and Eastern
railroad. The consolidated lines will be
known ns the Pittsburg and Eastern
and the work of construction will be
commenced In the spring. When com
pleted, the line will extond from West
Newton, on ithe Youghiogheny. where
it will connect with the Vanderbllt lines
to a connection with the Beech Creek
road, another Vanderbllt line at Ma
haffey. Persons Identified with the
LoyalhannaCoal and Coke company are
the largest stockholders In the con
solidated lines.
Philadelphia Inquirer: "The fruit
less conference of the anthracite presi
dents merely shows Hiat the Issue in the
trade Is not yet clearly defined. Some
of the presidents want to talk about a
new distribution of the anthracite ton
nage, and others want to discuss the
market conditions of the trade. At
Thursday's conference nothing was ac
complished because those present were
not prepared to go to the root of the
difficulty.' That. Is the over-production
of coal and the means that should be
taken to regulate the output. The ap
pointment of a committee to discuss
this question meuns nothing, for the
reason that Is the weak companies that
are being hurt most that are particu
larly anxious for this discussion to
begin. The prosperous companies do
not see much to benefit themselves, and
are not urging the question on. As
long as this condition prevails the pres
idents might as well spare themselves
the trouble of assembling In mass meet
ing and appointing committees,"
Hnzelton Standard: "An Important
deal, If It proves as reported, will be the
Lehigh Valley Railroad company ob
taining the production of coal from Sil
ver BriJok No. 2 colliery for shipment
over their road. The announcement
will cause much surprise, Inasmuch
as the Reading has, since the first day
the colliery was put In operation, con
trolled the output, with the exception
of a share which the Lehigh Valley has
been getting since No. 1 colliery was
abandoned. The Reading's tracks sur
round the plant and run under the
breaker, and it must be that the deal
was arranged .to the satisfaction of
both corporations, for If the Reading
desired It could keep the Lehigh Valley
from entering. The Sliver Brook Coal
company Is no doubt a party to the ar
rangement, as their power in the deal
Is acknowledged to be effective. The
new order will take effect on Jan. 1.
Before the Lehigh Valley Is given con
trol of the output of this enormous
breaker they will be called upon to Flgn
an agreement to furnish cars steadily,
and hence the difference to the work
men will be but slight, If at all."

STOCKS AXD BOXDS.
By the United Press.
' New York, Dee. 28. Trading at the
Stock exchange was even on a smaller
scale than on yesterday, only 85,272
shares having changed hands. Of this
total American Sugar, which was the
most active stock, figured for 10,600
shares. Irregularity was the chief
character of the limited speculation
and the changes In prices In nine cases
out of ten were the result of opera
tions of the professionals who are clos
ing up their trades. There' was, how
ever, a little life to the market In the
opening deal. A drop In the coalers
was the result of sales by a prominent
room trader alleged to have Inside In
formation as to condition of the coal
trade. This operator at one time of
fered 6,000 shares of Delaware and
Hudson at 121 seller sixty days without
takers.
In the afternoon some of the shorts
attempted to cover, but as there was
little stock offering prices quickly ad
vanced. Speculation left oft firmer.
Net changes in the railways were mere
ly fractional either way, except for
Baltimore and Ohio, which lost 3 per
cent. The Industrials as a rule show
gains of to 1 per cent.
The range of today's prices for the ac
tive stocks of the New York stock mar
ket are given below. The quotations are

to our patrons :
Wasliburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that they will this vear hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured.- New wheat Is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour fur above other
brands.
