In 15C1, tho New Yolk, Onlario and Western
railway built an extenion Into the upper Wyo
ming Vesion ader teeurlng a piarautee of 6uffl
ilent tonnage, offerinc to transport the coal for
10 per cent, of the tide price and later agreeing
to liny the output and pay f." per cent, of the
f. o. b. price. Other railroad cradually made
a similar advance. In lvrj, after i ferlc of
lonsiiltatlonx between the president of the Itenl
tug railroad nnd a ronnnltlee repieentlns the
liidl-idual operator, a contract a drawn up
six ins W) per cent, of the tide price to the opera
tors nnd thlx xxas entered Into by the various
lonipanle then under the contml or influence of
the ltcadinp.
These ronlraela extended for een jears and
expired In !S'. In 1SUS, alter lepeated efforts
had been nude to peeure the promise of their re
newal on more tax-ornble term, each fallinp any
definite remit, the indlWdual operators ori;anl7ed
the New York, WjomliiK and festern ILillway
company: wrxcyid a line fremi the Wyoming; re
Klon to tidewater; lioupht sex-eral thousand toiu
of rail: teemed rlpht of way; a tatldactory tide
terminal, and began const ruef Ion. Uwn tins,
ncttotlatlons xrere opened by the railroad, cul.
nilnarinfr, after nearly a year, In a satisfactory
plan, xxlilch x-as begun but not completed. Aler
Ihl. the opportunity occnrrlnir. the Intercuts of
the operator were consolidated with the Penn
nlvanl.x Coal company, the bed of the aban
doned Delaware und Hudson canal was purchxsed
and the riclawaio Valley and Kingston Hallway
eomjiany Incorporated.
The contract! upon nhlcli thl new road was
tn buy the operate!' coal, gaxe to the latter Cj
per cent, of the tidewater pilee, or. In other
xxords, reduced the fieijiht rate from one-half the
f. o. b. prlee, whhli it was prior to the lfiai con
tracts, to but little over onedldrd, besides mak
ing ex-en more material concessions in pea coal
and the smaller sizes, and slxlnc; an opportunity
for more days x'.ork eac'i year than had been
possible under the foimer urrangement. I'nder
wiih condlllons tho opciatorn had hoped to be
able to market nheir coal at n lower price, thus
reducing the cent to the puldlr, xxhllr- receliincj
themselics the bcnellt of the increased output.
Tlie existing nnthraiite companies opposed this
new railroad, both by cndcuotlnir to obstruct if.s
light of xiay and ly n legal fli;ht. Hut as one
enter another decision lesulted fivo'jbly to the
new enterprise, it became apparent that other
steps sure necessny, and these were taken in the
purchase of the I'ninsjlianla Coal company.
At about the came time n this htep w.is taken,
the various coal mining companies controlled by
the anthracite, tun-pottlne lines expic-ed a
xiilllngness lo puiclnso eojl from thiini'IUdual
e'perators, pa.xlng the latter Ui per ctnt. of the
elling prlee nt tide-wafer, an I several of them
Increased their holdings in anlhuelte lands by the
purchase ol f ivorably situated collieries.
This practically closes the- book, l'or the new
tailroad can b fald, with Milliard I 'Tarcwell

Oxford Miners Still Out.
Thus lar nothing; has been done to
orfect a settlement between the opcra
toifl unil i-mployps of the Oxford col
liery. It seems that tho operators are
waltlni; l'or the men to present their
Ki'levnnces In tangible form, so that
they can learn whcie they are at, while
the employes tire waiting for some fa
orable proposition from the company.
A meeting of the Oxford local inn
held in Jones' hall, on Jackson streel,
last nlRht, which xvas attended by a
large number of the strikers, but noth
ing definite xvns decided upon except
to remain away from tho mines until
a settlement Is effected.
The operators contend that the men
have no grievance and that they are
wilting to accede to anything that is
reasonable, while the men argue that
they are not receiving the full scale
of wages paid at other collieries.

during the latter part of tho div and the demand
to cuter fiom the shorln lifted the I'Ul ol

TV'arrants have been Issued fiom Al

COMMISSION REVOKED.
The Anthracite Mavket.
Tho January letter of the Anthracite
Coal Operators' association says about
the market:
The anthracite m.xihcl lias been extremely ac
tive, both as regards shipments from the mines
und the movement ot coal to the consumers' cel
lars. Thus far there has been no surplus which
llin transporting companies could place in their
icscrve stocks and, as a consequence, dclav may
be anticipated in deliveries when, during a
period of cold xveather, there i sn unusual lush
of eider.
'Hie mines are woiklng us nearly full time as
poss.ble, and the pioduction in November and
December is practically tho maximum which can
be reached xvlth the present supply of labor and
the facilities for transportation.
Trices nic being linnly maintained at all
poliiu, both tide and interior. No reduction is
anticipated until tho Umnnca ot a circular of
spring prices, and what change there will then
be, it any, is uncertain.
Taken as a whole, the market Is In sn excep
tionally strong condition, which appears to be
bated upon a permanent foundation.
