FIRE COMPANY DOINGS.
Enterprise lloso company met In regu
lar session Friday evening. Among othor
business transacted, a commltteo was ap
pointed to mako arrangements for the at
tendanco of the company'at the state fire
men's convonllon to be held in Wllkes
Barro next October. The members of
the committee are Jame3 A. Brown, L.
J. Wells, W. II. Wlldenbcrger. Howard P
Johns, Geo! go E. Maxey and Thomas
Brown, Jr. The committee has nlreaaj
appointed H. P. Johns to ut onco btcure
quarters at Wilkcs-Barre and has bar
gained with Michael Kratitz to convoy
the hose wagon to that place the day be
fore the convention. A committee was
appointed to meet with tho boiouKh coun.
ell and ascertain whither or not they
would be willing to provide suitable quar
ters for a team In case one was purchase.!,
and If they would employ the team Jn do
ing Buch borough work as required the
use of horses. The company's hose cart
Is very heavy and therefore inconvenient
and somewhat slow. With the aid ot a
team the new wagon could bo used, en
ablins the firemen to reach the scene of
action much quicker and with n less ex
penditure of stiength. It Is altogether
probable the council will favor tho com
pany, as they have always nlUed and en
eouruRcd the Knterprlso boy3 in a man
ner that has been generally commended
and that Is much to their credit. At pres.
ent the council Is about to secure a fifty
toot extension, ladder for the use of tha
company.
An Invitation has been received frore
Yandllng Hose company asking the lin
terprlso boys to attend their picnic to be.

Imitation was accepted.

THE STRIKE'S REAL CAUSE
Concluded from Page 1.
lng. The activity and prosperity of tho
miner primarily depend upon the ac
tivity and prosperity ot tho manufac
turer, since machinery Is moved by
steam in the; production of which coal
must bo consumed. Whatever Increases
tho number of mills and gives employ
ment to mill hands Increases work for
tho miner, but whatever reduces the
number of mills in operation shortens
the number of hours- or diminishes tho
number of operatives, Is as much
against tho intersts of the miner as it
Is against the Interests of the mechanic.
The suspension or reduction of work in
factories, business establishments of
various kinds and Industries of all sorts
In all parts of the country resulting
from the operations ot the Wilson law
caused a great reduction in the demand
for coal and combined with the depress
ing effect of lmportationsto still further
reduce the demand for the labor of the
miners and the prices paid for their
services. While the amount of coal ac
tually Imported Is only about four mil
lion tons a year or sufficient to throw
out of employment about eight thou
sand miners, the loss In markets to
American mines by the suspension of
manufacturing was much greater.
DEMOCRATS ALARMED.
Tho present strike of the coal miners
is looked upon with great alarm 'by
Democratlo leaders here. It calls at
tention directly and pointedly to tho
fact that their legislation Is beyond
question responsible for the reductions
of wages, all of which, according to
President Ratchford, have occurred
since the Inception ot that legislation.
Not only Is the Democratic party re
sponsible for the reduction of 35 cents
per ton which caused this reduction in
wages, but many of th men most
prominent fn its councils and as its
lenders urged and even demanded a
removal of the entire duty on coal,
placing it absolutely upon the free list,
which would have doubtless still further
reduced the Wages of miners.
William J. Bryan, whose name and
theories are to be especially prominent
In the approaching state campalgn.was
one of the most earnest nnd active
members of the wing of his party which
demanded the removal of the entire
duty on coal, saying, in a speech In
congress, January 13, 1S94: "The duty
on coal Is indefensible. The
duty on coal Is nothing but a subsidy,
which the people along the sea-coast
nre compelled to pay to the transpor
tation companies. Take tho
tariff off from coal, so that the New
England manufacturers can buy It for
less and they can manufacture more
cheaply, and then by cutting down the
tariff on the products of their factories,
we can compel them to sell nta low or
price to tho people of the south and
west."
INDUSTRIAL NEWS.
Tho fuel (or fancy) that. Junius Plct
punt Morgan Mill shortly assume the real
management of tho Lehigh Valley rail
road gives him. says a New York dis
patch, control of more lines of transpor
tation thnn any other man In tho world.
Ills word alono Is law ns Involving tho
spending and operation of millions of cap
ital. He controls tho New York Central
and Hudson Itlver railroad; the West
Shoie railroad; the Harlem road; tho
Home. Watertown and Osdcnsburp; road;
tho Iteadlns lond; tho Erie road; nnd
now the Lehigh Valley road, as Is told
below. Ho therefore controls all but two
of the Ricat roads that lead from this
city to tho uroat West. Ho controls a
huge percentnKo of the commerco car
rying ferries of tho metropolis; his mines
delvo Into the blaok depths of tho earth
for coal, and It Is this man who sud
denly looms up as the most glRiintlo
figure on the financial horizon. He wiu
a power several years ago, vhcn he ne
gotiated the notorious bond deal, but to
day, controlling these great lallroad cor
porations as ho does, and even repell
ing out for tho absolute control of tho
St. Lawrenco rler trafllc from Clayton
to Montreal, ho stands alone and unique
among tho money powers of this land.
o
Says the New York Sun; The condi
ditlons ot the present great strike ot
bituminous coal miners are very easily
understood, and there hais never been a
moro graphlo Illustration than that af
forded by them of standard economic
truths which are often misunderstood and
which It Is the fashion of demagogues to
misrepresent and assail. Seventy-five
thousand coal diggers have stopped work
ing becnuse, ai they say, they cannot
get a living wage fur their labor. Theio
Is no doubt, that, as a general proposi
tion, thc-lr statement Is true. There is
Jutt an little doul ' that at the. price at
which bltumlnout ooai Is now supplied
to conmmortj, tho coal mine owners can
not pay higher wages than the present
scale. Cut -throat competition applied to
a productive Industry In whlcn the nor
mal supply It fax greater than tho nor
mal demand has worked its natuml and
Inevitable result Tho coal rnlna owners
have recklessly underbid each other, Thla
spring, for Instance, contracts weio mado
in this city for bituminous coal to be de
livered from Ohio mines ot far points on
Lake Superior for $2 per ton. a prlca
which barely covered the cost of tho
production and transportation of the coal.
If, Indeed. It did not actually fall below
It. Tho bituminous mines are largely
owned by railroads, and these railroads
as tho result of this war, are on the
verge of bankruptcy, or already In tho
bands of receivers. The situation will
probably be relieved by some agreement
between the coal mln opeiators to
charge consumers a higher price for coul,
or such price at least as will afford some
human motive for continuing to mine
and sell tho product. Buch an agreement,
it Is well known, has been found neoca
sary In the anthraclto coal business in
the Hast, and if such an agi cement Is
not applied to the bituminous coal busi
ness, the bituminous coal business will
have to stop. And whn that agreement
is applied, and the men go back to work
at higher wages, the newspapers that
liavo been howling about the wretched
pay that tho plutocratB havo been giving
their miners will scream themselves black
in the face over tho increased pi Ice of
coal to consumers,"
