Convention at Hnzleton.
John Mitchell, president of the Unlterl
JUne Workers, has Issued a call for a
convention of the anthracite miners In
Hnzleton on August 13. The purpos"
of the convention Is to devise means by
which a joint conference of operators
and miners may bo held to arrange for
a readjustment of the scale of wages
now being paid by tho anthracite oper
ators. All local secretaries have been re
quested to call special meetings to re
ject delegates. This call Is the first
direct move of the national organiza
tion, and will attract widespread in
terest. The Hard Conl Market.
Tho July letter of the Anthracite
Coal Operators" association says of tho
market: There was little change In
anthracite market conditions during
tho past month. Shipments to tho
west have prevented a largo surplus
from accumulating at tide points, and
nt tho latter there was a slightly moro
nctivo movement than during tho pre
ceding month. Tho New England
market also showed a tendency to in
crease its purchases. Trices were fair
ly firm, though there was a disposition
nt times to make concessions to secure
prompt business.
July lias opened with fair outlook
as to tho tonnage going forward, but
with a persistent demand by buyers
for contracts for future delivery nt
present prices. Tho larger companies
arc apparently making a strong effort
to prevent such concessions, antici
pating a higher fall circular, but if
the smaller companies enter Into many
such contracts, prices cannot but bo
affected by them. For current sales,
however, prices are firm.
Time Expires August 1.
Tho time limit which the Interstate
Commerce commission, together with
congress, has plnced upon railroad
companies for tho equipment of cars
with the regulation coupler expires the
first of next month. At present the
railroads doing nn Intei-stato business
arc putting forth every effort to com
ply with the interstate regulation and
it Is thought that wlwn tho law goes
into force every railroad will bo prop
erly equipped.
Regarding tho export trade of tho
American stylo of car couplers, It was
said that so far tho attempt to Intro
duce them In Europe has not resulted
in success. Tn Mexico, however, the
general tendency of tho times Is to
adopt American methods in railroading
nnd a fairly largo market has been
found there, Russia Is also adopting
American couplers on Its trans-Siberian
railroad.

"We regret to note that the Kansas

Here Is the record of tho output of

the past tight years, an output that
has increased In spite of the fact that
