J .' l a - Uneeda Biscuit Uneeda Biscuit FIGHT FOR THE NEW COAL ROAD OPERATORS BELIEVE THAT THE END IS IN SIGHT. In the May Letter of the Anthracite Coal Operators' Association the Causes That Makes the Proposed Road a Necessity Aro Reviewed at Some Length Some Tart Com ments Upon the Management of the Anthracite Interests of the Big Coal Carrying Companies. The Mcy Letter of the Anthracite Coal Operators' association contains the following with reference to the new roul read: The announcement tliat the Delaware Valley and KlnRstnn railway lui lieen granteel permis sion to construct its line, is the lieRinninj? of the end of the fight nlilcli the iiieliiielual oiier atora hao wjbciI for lower frciKtit rates. It is one of a series o accomplishments which bould hace tiuuht the transporteis a useful lcs-i-on. It was the icoious fight of the indiUdual operators wliich foucd the railroads to reduce the f 1.75 fielfht rate once charged, and each tiirccHslir flglit has lesulted in the obtainlni; of a lower rate, culminating In that which will now be in force throush the contracts witli the new railroad. Thin association has much to its credit for the work which it has accomplished for Its members. The lessons which the transpoitcrs hac learned hae been eiy covtly to them. They hac spent far more money and lost more in the disorganization of the tiade ill each fight, than if they had met the icquest of the operators In a fair and equitable spirit, and conceded what they Knew to be rislit. The policy of these transport!; railroads has been o nepotic in the faorltism extended to their auxiliary companies; so egotistic in their be lief In their own Infallibilitj ; so shoit-sightod in their Inability to leoognizc the signs of coin ing storms, anil so utterly incompetent when the storms have broken, that it is a w under of won ders, a source of ncver-encling speculation,, why the business heads behind these organizations bae not been 6tiired into radical and elecishe action. AN EXAMPLE, i No better example has been afforded of the inability of the existing interests to grap the situation than the occuncnce of u jcar ago. 'I be indicidual operatois, after trying cery means in thcil power to induce the ti.iii-.port-crs to ghe them lower height rates, detei inined to comtiuct a road for themsehes and to this end seemed a clutter for the New ork, Wjomlng and Western, surcejed a line, selnt cd tidewater terminal-, and purchased a irujii tity of rails. The project was ridiculed bv the other railroad inteiests, but as the operators con tinued their work serlouilj , the lu.t merriment was hiiiccedeel by silence, and, finally, by a well giounded apple hensiun tint the tmdci taking was in good failli and likely to suce-eed. Their ice ognillon of tins fact, though t.inh, was still in time for them to open negotiations to pre cnt so serious a blow at their control. The operators had demanded more adiantagcous con tracts and had been flatly refused. This liega the had to be enereoine In a manner consistent icith the elignlt.t (sie ) of the transpoitcrs, Moreocci, the leacen of a single selling agency end an organlml s.cstem of distribution hail been working in the heads of piomlncnt finan cial intrrists and appealed to their business judgment. It was finally piopnsccl that a com pany be oigauin'd with a suflii Irntl laigc e.ip il.il to enable it to, find, puichase such col lleiles nwneel by individual operators as it could secure for a irasonahlc piiee, and then to pui chase coa) ''Otn other opeiatura and. thinugli this means to intunhicc man.t and mucb ucedul economies in the distribution of the fuel. The charter of the Temple Iron compaii) was adapt able to the preposed pi in and was secured. Pio ision was made for the right to Issue bonds to the extent of 15,rHKl,noo with power to Inciease, If fie'ecvsatj, in older lhat there would be am ple means. I'liANNRD TO A NICKTT. The business end had planned to a nicely, hail plcdgrd its word, faith and liouoi, and, possible, more trnstwoithj, hail spent Its time and money In piopcrly oiganlzlng Its eompany. The purpose and Intent appealed satisfactory, and the lepresenlotlces of the association agreed. It meant cxcit thing the upciatoi had been contending for in lower height and a stable market. With these assiiianccs the puichase of the first collleiies was made. Hut. unfortunate!), at the last moment the financial interests which,' had outlined this plan placed it in the hands of the repiesentatlxes of the various railroads to consummate. Then the different cs of opinion which have existed for jears as to the advisability of such action, 'fmc out in obstructive rtdeuionj and no fur ther progress xvas made. The plans, promises and understandings .luado by the financial in terests were set' aside with that absence of hesitation which has characterized every act of maladministration performed in the anthracite industry. '.There are histories within which are unwritten histories, and such would lie the record of the anthracite coal Industry. Its history has hidden in its depths the secret story of so many piotn Ises unfulfilled, of agreements never kept, of bright hopes ami gloomy failures, and above all of such utter business incapacity and weak vac illation that, could it all be told In as grossly trutfvfu) a fnauner as the cventa have Justified, thj;weacst stockholder in these transportation . companies would rise In wrath and Indignation Sii the incapacity and gross abuse of power of ef intU' ol these whu luivo been entrusted with tltV niinagcmcnt Of tbeser interests. The. Association rafter ha's-from tUne. to time devotee tome attentlin to these matters for the general information of its members, and it will continue to do so as long as this de plorable condition lasts, liven In some of lb) detail! ot the Industry there arc things vvoithy . ol careful anal v sis with a view to Improvement. - .Indeed, an interesting feature In theso smaller nutters la the relation between the transporta tion companies and certain commission agents ' who have the sole agency lor coal shipped ovor 4tbte lines, i SOURCE OP DANQI3U.

Tb cummi sion houses, on the other hand, are principilly interested in handling a laree tonnags and. If the market should be upset b) 'uir ru'oitr, they have an opportunity vo fuitber prolt. In deed, it Is a noteworthy fact that the aver age pilccs returned by hese "omnilsslTi boiscs is almost Invariably below tho seured by the companies which haxe their own seliln.T elerait nunts.

In these and other matters, the a'socintion has an active interest. It hu emWvoied to convince the transporters In die pivt, and as sures them again, that no plan for tre ad JiMtnient of the trade can ever sicccd without its assent and co-opeiatlo'i.

Hut, tha tiansporters broke faitli among them selves, miarrclci! over petty matters, and, ig noring the broad principle which should be the primary guide In all questions concerning an Industry of such gieat extent, haggled over details ot trifling Importance1, unwilling to con cede" to the operators or to each other thnsi. things which n spirit of equity alone should have dictated. Consequently, the operators were compelled to recognize the Instability of any propositio.i or suggestion from these source", and sought to piovide themselves securely against further ilam age In their Interests. In this thev have as sumed a position wlieie the tianspoiters aie compelled to icgiid them as a boily and not ai individuals.

If They Servo as Witnesses or in Any Other Like Way Make the County Their Debtor They Cannot Get Pay While Their Insolvency Account Remains Unsettled. Criminal Court Excursions Not Likely to Be as Popular Now as They Used to Be. Just how much the new office of witness fee clerk saves the county can not be told till comparisons aro made at the end of the year, but some Idea of the saving accomplished can bo had from the statement that nearly $200 was saved alone last week by with holding witness fees from Insolvents. It Is -ory unfashionable nowadays In criminal courts to pay costs. Liti gants have learned that there is al avays a danger of being defeated and having the costs saddled upon them, so, before going Into court, the wily litigant has his property transferred to his avlfe or some other near rela tive. If he loses and Is sentenced to pay the costs he simply declares hlm self an insolvent and escapes. About the same crowd of litigants came Into the quarter sessions term and very few If any ot them have not at one time or another lost a case and had recourse to the Insolvency laws to escape payment of the costs. Prior to this year, no account was kept of this other than the memor ania, noting tho Insolvency proceed ings, and as a consequence a man declared an insolvent nt this term of court could be In at tho next term on several cases probably, and after the county had been duly saddled with the costs would be promptly at the county commissioners' ofllce to col lect his fees. A GREAT CHANGE. This Is all changed now, thanks to the ostollithmeiu of the new office of witnet-t) foe clerk and the fact that the county commissioners In choosing Jobn F. Mahon selected a man to fill It who knows and does what he Is there for. Mr. .Mahon went through the rec oids foi several jcars back and tab ulated in alphabetical order a list of Insolvents with the amount of costs each had tin own over on to tho shoul ders of the county. When one of these Insolvents comes In now to col lect fees he hears something like this: "Yes, your bill Is correct, sir. Two days before the gianri jury and three lit court, and mileage to and from your home each day. Klght dollars and twenty cents. We'll credit that to your account. Yes. Don't you re member that In J38, December term, 1S98, you were prosecutor and had the costs put on you. You escaped pay ment by having yourself decreed an insolvent and put $12 costs on tho county. You still owe the county $:3.-5. The $S.2.i directly saved by this oper ation Is not the only raving This man, you can safely wager, will not come to couit again unless he Is forced to and about the only force that ccn be successfully used to brlnr him In Is to give him assurance that his fees avlll be paid direct by the party who yubpoonas him. He Is not coming to Seranton, leaving his work and pay ing railroad fare and hotel bills avhen he knows that he won't get anything for It except another credit on his account in the Insolvency docket. WAS A GREAT GRAFT. This thlr.g of collecting witness fee? used to be a gieat graft. In some communities It got to be considered among the chief Industries of the place. The constable was the chief grafter and his accomplices were the hangers on around the 'squire's ofn.ee. A term of criminal couit was to them what tho county fair Is to the farmer. It meant a week In Seranton at the expense of the county and all that goes with It. The trick was very simple. The constable would put their names on the subpoena. That was all. Some times one or two of them would know something about the case, and they would be put on the maud, but as a tule the prosecutor, who would, of course, be In on tho game, would not have the district attorney call them, The district (attorney in his desire to expedite the court's business would bo very slad to refrain from calling a whole ruft of wilneFPes, itnd there you ere. The constable would he along at the nest county pay day with assign ments or the different claims nnd the next evening ho would bo distributing great big catt wheels among tho loungers at tho 'squire's ofllce. The recent order of court limiting the number of witnesses In an assault and battery case has done away to u, great extent with this abuse, as the majority of cases In which this i.ort ot thing was practiced had assault and battery as tho charge. A bolder scheme which wts noTqtilte os RUcccrtully tvorjterl waa carried out oxnetly Alone the same lines, ex eopt In that the dummy witnesses did not appear In court at all. The pros, ecutor, urder the skllfull Guidance of the constable, would tuin In bills for ca;h and every une of them Just the same us If they had been In court, und as there was no way of know Inrj whether or not they were In at tendance the county had to settle. Hut that Ramc doesn't work any more. The witness hns ot to regis ter every day he Is In attendance, and after thp 1 castrations are all made and It should appear that the motivo of tin' cose does not require the num ber of witnesses that appear, the mat ter can bo referred to tlu district at torney end he can order the tirosn cutor to t-have down his witnesses. The blf;gest savings ot all Is, of course, In preventing duplication, formerly a witness drew a dollar a day for every case In which ho ap peared. Now he gets $1 a day no mat ter how many cases he appears In. Tlie tavlng, in this respect, In police cases alone, Is sufficient to pay the expense of the new ofllce over and over again. INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS. Condition of the Coal Market as Set Earth in the Letter of Operators. The May letter of the Anthratlto Coal Operators' association says ot the market: "There was no material change In the anthracite market during tho past month, Both demand and prices were dull, though the latter held fairly firm. LMay baa opened with no (radical change In view. The selling compan ies are maintaining prices near the cir cular rate, and keeping the shipments from tho mines practically within the demand. It Is expected that this coursa will be followed throughout the spring, thus developing a strong mar ket by the- time an advance circular la Issued for the summer business. The western market has been assist ed by the late spring and there Is now a better tono and more inquiry than during last month. Tho New England market, while not purchasing heavily. Is showing a tendency to Increase Us now small stocks in anticipation of ad vances in prices. Interior markets are showing more activity than at any points, while at tidewater, there Is the least, excepting, possibly, in steam engines, which are In utgent demand." Exporting American Engines. The fact that more than four mil lion dollars' worth of American rail way engines have been exported In the 9 months ending with March 1900, as cop.pared with less than one mil lion elollais' worth in the coi respond ing" months ending with March, 18'Jl, and two million eight hundred thous and dollars' worth in the correspond ing months of 189S lends especial In terest to the following statement from 0 report by the Ililtlth agent and consul general In Egypt, which has Just been received by the treasury bureau of statistics. The report says: "Large additions were made in the lolling htcck in the course of the last year. Mort of the new stock added is, however, to replace old stock which lias been condemned, I mny mention that four trial heavy engines exceed ing In tower the largest locomotives In use on the English railways were orderei last year, two from Glasgow and two from America."
