INDUSTRIAL WORLD
APPOINTMENTS IN FREIGHT
DEPARTMENT.
R. B. Vaughnn, Who Is In Charge in
This City of the Freight Business
o? the Lackawanna Company, Has
Announced His Staff Carpenters
Say That Building Is Not as Slow
as Reported by the Architects.
The Iron and Steel Trade Condi
tion of the Coal Trade.
It. II. ViiurIiuii. general freight agent
in the local office of the Lackawanna
road, yesterday announced the up
j ointments to new portions created
by Mm. lie lus re-organised the de
partment and Is sanguine that the
changes made will be of a benefit to
the road and Um patrons.
Michael Iltirke. jr.. was yesterday
appointed auditor of the Incoming
freight and all matters pertaining to
that department will be .under his su
pervision. Ernest Browndl will be chief rate
clerk, having charge of the billing
rates of the ofllee and auditing of the
outgoing freight.
Walter Wilbur Is the appointee as
head of the ear department. All re
quisitions for cars will be referred to
him.
The appointees are all old men of
the fright department. To a Tribune;
reporter Mr. Vnughan said yesterday:
"These appointees will be masters of
the situation and will have full con
trol of their departments."
Chris Powderly has resigned his pos
ition In the freight department. Mil
ton Uelnhart has been chosen to suc
ceed him.
In Fairly Good Condition, They Say.
There was no material change In the
strike situation yesterday beyond the
statements given out by the carpenters
that they had secured several more
contracts. The men do not appear
to have the same views on the building
trades situation as the architects whose
opinions weie.published In yesterday's
Tribune. They maintain that the build
ing trade Is In a fairly good condition.
A number of members of the Hulld
cis' exchange deny the statement made
sometime' ago to' tho effect that they
were asking the men to come back
nt the old scale now, with the promise
of the eight hour and the thirty cents
n n hour next spring. One of the mem
bers said: "Such a statement Is ab
surd as we have conclusively shown
that we have nil the men we require
to do the work on hand and we do not
need to go out soliciting for men."
Iron and Steel Trade.
The Impression is gaining giound In
it on and steel trade circles that there
will shortly be another sharp advance
in tho prices for raw material. l'lg
Iron Is very scarce, and It Is upon this
fact that these predictions arc- based.
T'p to the present time nearly all of
the steel mills have been able to run
on full time, but with Increasing dllll
culty In securing material, it Is ex
tremely likely that most of them will
have to go on three-quarter time the
remainder of the year.
The shortage of pig, and the fact
that during the past month contracts
have been made by foundries and some
of the steel makers for next year's
supplies, leads many In the trade to be
lieve that present conditions will pre
vail for a long time to come, and may
In a measure be permanent.
A healthy tone pervades the market,
however, and there Is little or no like
lihood of a sensational boom.
Small Buying and Selling.
Commenting upon the coal trade for
the week, the Coal Tiade Journal says:
"If one may Judge of anthracite com
dltlons by the reports which come to
hand. It would seem that August Is
tho dull month this year. At tho same
time there is coal being mined and
sent off to distributing oints wheie
It will be needed later on. but the
actual buying and selling Is confined
to rather small transactions Just at
present. We have had some lively
months already this year In the way of
tonnage, and It is telling upon the
trade at present, so that no one Is
boasting about Inning plenty of or

ness Is being done by the larger con
cerns Is nt the scheduled list, but there
arc coals not up to their grade that
always sell at less, and they are so
quilted todav:
"Soft coal Is In good request, and In
sumo parts of the west there has been
mi advance in price, and further
changes In that direction are expected
before the dose of the season. In the
seaboard trade the demand Is on a lib
eral scale from all points short of tide,
but the average consumer at the east
ward has coal and does not pay
much attention to the reports that It
will be worth more money later on.
He will have to pay for any hesitancy
In buying, as both freights and coal
will range higher than they, did at the
close of last season. At prices f. o. b.
nt which the New Knglander Is getting
his supply, or can do so, at the present
time, fuel In the cheapest thing In the
running of the mill or factory. Coal
has not recently had Its chance of bet
terment, but the time Is near when it
will."
Baldwin Is General Manager.
O. A. Baldwin of this place, secretary
and treasurer of the Slate Line find
Sullivan railroad company, wus last
week chosen general manager of the
company and of the Bernlce mines, and
on Tuesday the announcement was
made of his appointment to the super
Mitendeney of the Barclay railroad
company and the Long Valley Coal
company. Both olllces have been ac
cepted by Mr. Baldwin and he will
enter upon his duties nt once. The va
cancies to which he has been appoint
ed were both caused by tho death of
I. O. Blight, under whose management
the two corporations were. Mr. Uald
s will also continue to act as secre
tary of the company.
Mr. Baldwin was favorably spoken
of as the successor to Blight In the
management of tho two companies and
bis townsmen are glad that Ills abili
ties have been appreciated In so flat
terinir a manner. He has been a faith
ful official for the company and his
experience, combined with his business
qualities and personal popularity. In
sure a successful career for him In
th- responsible position to which he
has been appointed. N. N. BHt. cash
ier of the First National bank, has
been elected treasurer of the State
Line and Sullivan to succeed Mr. Bald
win. To wand.i Reporter-Journal.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.
Considered from Capitalists Point of
View Article in September Let
ter of Anthracite Operator's
Association.
The September Letter of Anthracite
Coal Operators' association, n month
ly publication which Is the ofllclal or
gan of the association from which H
takes its name, has the following on
the 'luestlon of capital and labor.
"The period of dissatisfaction among
the mine workers has come around
and, on the eve of prosperity, they are
endangering the very result they have
been wishing for. The complaint
throughout the anthracite regions has
been that there Is not enough working
time. That the capacity to produce
was so largely In excess of the market
requirements, that working 1R0 days in
the year, filled tho demand. This has.
unfortunately, been the case and has
wrought hardships on the operators as
well us worklngmen. When 30 per cent,
of the entire product, pea and smaller,
sells at far less than Its cost of pro
duction. It must be evident that even
the utmost skill will hardly bring a
return to the capital Invested, when
this must be had from the remaining
70 per cent., nnd the plant Idle 215 days
In a year.
"A man who can work ",00 days In a
year and earn $1.50 each day. makes
more, nnd at no more cost to himself,
than the one who earns $2.50 and can
work but 150 days. This does not re
quire research Into the theories of eco
nomics, but plain, every-day common
sense. The trouble Is, the uverage
workmun will look rather to his eurn
Ing power for one day, and this readi
ness to grasp a detail and Ignore the
broader question has always been the
capital of labor agitators.
"This Is a particularly unfortunate
time for both miners and operators,
Tho former, If earnest In their ex
pressed deslro to Increase their earn
ings, have the opportunity to do so by
taking advantage of the rapid Increase
In the demand for their product nnd
working more days each month than
has been possible before. Then, to tho
operators, the larger product produced
by their Investment has offered a
chance to make good some of the heavy
losses Incurred in previous years.
"It Is, of course, fair to assume that
tho miners really believe that their
various demands are Just, but there
are times when there Is a fair doubt
as to whether this Is the case, or they
simply desire a temporary vacation
with attendant gatherings, parliament-
aty proceedings and the appointment
of committees.
"Strikes are nlways serious matters.
There may be no acts of violence and
a settlement muy bo reached, and
usually Is, on exactly the same basis)
as before, but there Is harm done In
the Impression given to the younger
workers, and the more Ignorant ones,
that this Is the proper manner In which
to ndjust a difference or opinion. The
worker has at stake the day's food for
his family, hut he willingly throws this
In the balance, with credit and charity
to back hint.
"On the other hand, the emp'oyer Is
risking everything. Unforced Idleness
may nllow his competitors to secure
the market for his products. He has
often contracted for materials to man
ufacture, depending upon the returns
from the Mulshed articles to pay these
uccounts. He ilsks his Investment, his
credit, his business Itself.
"The average employer objects to
labor unions not so much because the
workers nro combined, as because they
arc In almost every case wholly Irre
sponsible bodies, making demands with
out consultation as to their fairness,
and backing them without loss or In
Jury to themselve3, but great Injury to
the employer. It Is probable that If
labor organizations were duly Incorpor
ated, and offered a negotiable guaran
tee that men would faithfully perform
the duties allotted them, the employers
who would not contract with them
would be the exception."
MUSHROOMS THAT INTOXICATE
A Fungus Used in Asia ns a Means
of Exhilaration.
The inhabitants of tho northeastern
part of Asia use a mushroom to pro
mote Intoxication. It Is known ns tho
lly-blown mushroom, and Is nlso very
abundant In Scotland.
The fungus Is regularly gathered In
the hottest part of the year, and is
then hung up by a string In the nlr
to dry. Some nic dry before gathered,
nnd these arc stated to be far more
narcotic than those artificially pre
served. Usually the fungus is rolled up Into
a mass, and tnken wlthojit chewing,
for. If masticated. It Is said to disorder
the stomach, asserts "Anecdotes." One
large or two small fungi produce -what
Is looked upon as a pleasant state of
Intoxication for one day.
The effect Is the same as that pro
duced on taking a quantity of spirits
or wine, except that it Is delayed from
one to two hours after the mass has
been swallowed.
