' AGREED NOT TO RENEW CONTRACTS IMPORTANT MEETING OF COAL OPERATORS' ASSOCIATION. What Would Bo Done ns an Alterna tive Not Made Known, but a Meet ing of the Independent Road DUectorato Held Virtually in Con junction with Operators' Meeting Is Significant Doubtful if Grant ing of Former Demand Would Now Be Acceptable, Tlioio was moio to tlm meeting of the Anthracite Operators' association, Wednesday, than tho newspaper dis patches would Indicate. Not only did It show "ft decided opposition to tho renewal of tho contracts with the trans porting railroads on the present bnsls," but actually determined not to renew them Thero wete llfty operators piesent, lepresentlng twent-llve per cent, of the total anthracite output. Some of these are tied up with perpetual contracts, some have no standing coutiacts and others, quite a number, have contracts that are about to explio. It Is these latter who will make tho first move towards bringing about a better con dition of nffaits. Just what will follow tho refusal to renew the contracts is not given out, but It Is significant In this connection that a mooting of tho directorate of the New Yotk, Womlng nnd Western rnlt load, which Is to build what Is famil iarly known as the individual opera tor's line, pieiedeil the meeting of the operatois' association. MATTKIt KKPT SiX'ltlVr. What was done at tho meeting of the lnllrond company could not be learned. D. B. Sturgo". who Is one of the direc tors, stated that the meeting decided not to give out what had tinnsplred. It was deemed best to keen tho com pany's transactions secret for tho pres ent nt least The promise of tho carrying com panies to maintain prices will not ef fect a. eompiomlse, even though there was eeiy nsurance that the promise would be fulfilled. The opciators do not want high prices particularly; they want lower fi eight rates Bituminous coal comes In direct com petition witli the small sizes of anthra cite, nnd because of the discrimination against anthracite by the carriers, tho small sizes aie being crowded out of the maiket. This discrimination Is so flagrant as to almost surpass belief. A ton of bituminous coal Is carried from Pitts burg to New York cheaper than a ton of anthracite Is carried from Scranton to Now Yoik, and It Is claimed that through freight coming from the west Is carried from Buffalo to New York cheaper than coal Is carried from Scranton to New York. TROUBLE IN A NUTSHELL. The trouble In n nutshell Is that an thracite, under tho present contracts, is expected to pay a freightage of from rltrht to twelve mills a ton per mile and then compete with bituminous, w hlch Is paying only one-fourth that tariff. iPitlshurg bituminous can be de livered In Philadelphia cheaper than Pottsvllle anthracite. At present the cairler gets forty cents and the operator sixty cents on each dollais' worth of coal sold at tide water. The operators demanded at least sixty-five cents. Whether this will bo granted and whether If It Is granted It will bo satisfactory, 13 a question. The feasibility of the new railroad will go a great wajs towards solving this question. SUICIDE STORY DOUBTFUL. Letter nnd Telegram Received Hero Would Tend to Discredit It. A letter received cstorday by Mrs. Ann Morgan, of 1023 Academy street, nnd a telegram received by Chief of Police Hobllng would tend to discredit tin dispatches lecolved here to the ef fect that Mrs. Morgan's s.on, Joseph, nnd another Scranton man, Joseph H. Williams, had attempted to commit suicide in Seattle. The letter wns from Morgan himself. It told that he fell from a train and broko his leg, but mentioned nothing of niiv mishap to Williams, and made no reference whatever to suicide. The telegram was from the chief of police of Seattle and was In answer to n query fiom Chief Hobllng ns to the truth of the suicide story. The tele gram simply told that tho suicide story was not tt up. and that details would be sent by'mull. DE ORO WOULD NOT PLAY. Declined a Chance at Another S500 of Keogli's Money.

The doctors Inform us that nltnn Is poison nnd that alum baking powdeis should be avoided because they make the food unwholesome. Prominent hygienists, who have given the matter most study, regard those powdeis as an evil that should bo supressed by state action. In Minnesota and Wis consin alum powdeis aie not permitted to be Hold unless they ure branded to warn consumers of their true char acter, while In the District of Colum bia the authorities h.ne under the di rection of congiess adopted regulations to prohibit tho uae of alum in bread altogether. Are not the people of other states, as well as. those of Minnesota and Wisconsin, entitled to warning of a danger which Is apparently menacing them at close hand, nnd Is not the whole country entitled to absolute pto tcctlon, as tho people of the District of Columbia are protected, by legisla tion which la entirely prohibitive? Until we can have protection In the form of a statute, how can our state board of health, state analysts or food commlssloneis better serve the pub lic than by publishing In the newspap ers from time to time the names of the baking powder which they find to be made from alum? 'Meantime, it will aid the housewife In designating the alum powders to re member that all powdeis sold at 25 cents or less per pound are of this dangerous class. Pure cream of tar tar powders are usually sold at from 45 to SO cents a pound. RAILROAD NOTES. On the New York division of tho Pcnn slanla railroad the wages of the train men have been increased.
