THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY, AUGUST 19, lOOlT
SOME VIEWS
OF OPERATORS
A.TJOUST LETTER OF THEIR ASSOCIATION.
The Slxty-flvo Per Cent. Contracts
May 33e Considered In Full Force.
Somo Criticism of Certain Features
of the Contracts Interesting Dis

The AtiRtut h'tter of tho Anthracite
Coal Operators' noc latlon says:
"The past month Inn shown o slc
nlflcnnt rliniiRe In the situation of the
individual operatois. Many of the
contracts which h.irl heen ulnned and
which the inllioads li.ivi- liorn "con
MdcrliiK" for home month by thorn
have been accepted, ulsni'd by the lat
ter and dcllvricd to the operator". The
hlxty-flve per cent, contracts may be
considered In full force and all that
now Is to be completed Is the settle
ment of the vat Inns nmniint' due on
the adjustment to the lieu wale since
Inst November
if u in In' reciottt'd that the Lot
tcr has not the facilities to audit the
nrcounts of tho villous antlnnclte
transporting companies and present a
statement ! bowing how much more
they hae lost through teslstlug the
demands of the operators than If they
had niccded to their icquest In the
beginning. (1l ionise, taking up by
gones would not Improve the spiritual
tone of the railroad nlllies, nor, possi
bly. Ineie,ie theli often npnsed es
teem for the Individual uperatoi s It
would only be Intel ftliiH to other
people.
t'ONl'llACTS CIUTK'ISICD.
"Itut thi'to are things In the present
which may be of mutual Intoiost. The
construction of coitnili features of
these contiacts, for instance Some
parts hae n suggestion of agtie. In
distinct mistiness, UUe an linpieslon

look line, this appearance Inci easing If
the eyes ale tightly shut. Hut close
Inspection lovr.ils lines which .110 un
certain. In the provision for m riving
nt the monthly tesults of sales It
would seem that the Individual opeia
tnis might tlnd the summer of their
discontent mined Into winter by the
glorious fiost they will meet when
they ask for Intelligible aveiages.
"Tho commits ay that those gen
eral aveiages shall bo detei mined by
a distinct ostod export an militant, in
order to fulfill this ioculioment the
transporteis have pIi-i tod a gentle
man who has had thaige of a buieau
maintained colnlvtl by the lall
roads, and who ha had seveial yoais
active training In doing what ills em
ployers demanded An excellent se
lection, no doubt, but "disinterested?"
or an "expert nccnuntant?" It
amounts almost to an accusation.
"Hut, dropping this point for the
moment. It is a matter of some specu
lation as to how soon the averages
will roach the f. o b circular price.
Tiue, the have been nearer to It than
for many ycais, but theie is still a
margin of a valuable number of cents
per ton. If the companies are abso
lutely adhering to ilicular pi ices, as
they claim and as, indeed, there seems
little reason to disbelieve, then where
is tho trouble.' Does It Ho in some of
those old scandals, long time con
tracts with belated deliveries, or is
homebody on tho ' Inside" getting fa
vored tlgmes? These aie matters
with which tho companies, now that
they aie in piactirally full possession
of the maiket, must look after. They
have taken such a determined stand
that they are open to ciltlelsm If they
fail to live up to their announced prin
ciples. Of cum pp. the word "pilnci
ples" seems out of place when icfor
rlug to the tianspoi tors, but It sounds
veil as a iouite.N
TIM: I-AHOIt SITl'ATION.
"The labor situation in the nnthra
v.Ite icglous Is still closeivlng of care
ful consideration. The action of the
Mine Workers' union in taking steps
to bieak up the fliemens .strike, while
.111 outwaul evidence of good faith In
, can j lug out theli pnuulse to lemaln
nt work until nest Apiil. Is not con
clusive in 001 that they will do sh.
Their ability to fmce the lliemeu to
abandon their contention, together
with their vailous other lecent acts,
shows a slicing effort to lncion.se their
power and Miength to fence Issues
n.t Apt II. Any lecognltlon or con
cessions to this bod will lie used as
a lever to unseat those who have
yielded. Tho entire situation Is one
demanding the utmost vigilant e and
care from the operators, both Individ
uals and the large nmpanles,
"It Is singular that no consistent ef
fort has been made to biing the acts
of thes labor unions befoie the courts
Tho Mine "Workers have demanded
that men not belonging to tluli organ
ization phall be lofused work nt the
mines, nnd those now employed dls.
charged. This same union endeavoied
to force a bill through the Pennsylva
nia legislature piovldlng a heavy fine
should any emploer dlschnige an em
ploye because he was a member of a
labor union. The present law provides
nmply ngalnst such action, and an
employer who should dismiss a man
because he did not belong to the union
would be equally nmenable under Its
provision.
"The officials of the Mine "Workers
demand, as their pilvllege, the right
to stop a man who Is on his way to
the plaui of his employment and as
certain whether or not he Is one of
their body, with the further privilege
of using their persuasive fin to nnd ai
gument, even though the laborer ap
peals to his employer or tho nuthoil
ties for protection against this anno; -ance.
AS TO nnSTIlff TIOX.
"And these Mine Workers have re
cently passed resolutions that they
will pi event the mines from working
enough time to provide surplus stocks
of coal. They wish to "restrict" pro
ductlon, In order that, as they In
genuously admit, the operatois will
never have a surplus "with which to
mpply tho public when these union
officials order a strike. Hut when the
operators find that tho market does
not require the output from full
working time, and shut down for a
few days, then tho miners complain
bitterly of a "trust" which grinds and
oppresses them, orders their going and
coming nnd generally interferes with
their liberties. It Is 'heads I win, tails
you lose.' The miners want restrlc
Man .when It pleases them, and object
to the owner of the property restrict
ing when he cannot sell the product.
It Is an attempt nt a trust, the very
thing they are crying against, And a
trust of appalling character. A body
uf men wholly unfamiliar with the
methods and Intricacies of transport
ing and marketing coal, a body abso
lutely Irresponsible as such, Incapable
of being successfully sued for the ic
covety of damages It might occasion;
a body which In a moment of hysteri
cal excitement would not hesitate to
destroy property and life these people
want to be "iccognlzed," to be given
the poweis they are Incapable of
handling, given control and In re
turn they offer fair promises whose
fulfillment must depend upon the
chance mood of tiny of their various
members.
"Wluitever may be the earnest In
tent and purpose of any of "the ouiclals
of this labor trust, It can never be
accomplished until the union becomes
an Incorporated and responsible body,
callable of entering Into a contract and
giving the same assurance of Its fut
llllment as It demands fiom the other
side The pioscut situation Is full of
dangers. The ng! cement, so-called,
which Is to last until April Is, In real
ity, a mice.
"The danger Into which these labor
unions ate leading the country at
largo cannot be exaggerated. In Ihi
tope, with tho paitlal exception of

legislation, has tin own a blight over

Theie has been no change ( mo

Puichnslng has not been as active In

Big Increase in Coal Exports.
I'o.il expotatlons fiom tho I'nlted
States during the fiscal year Just ended
as shown by the tteasuiy buieau of
statistics, amounted to $.'.' .il7.49(i,
against $19,5iU,SI8 In the fiscal ear I MO,
$13,M.1,0"& In lSsn. $1I.OOS,64,'! In IW, $10.
64fi,0tW In 1S80, and $s.3nt,026 in 1501.
Tims Is the value of toal exportation
from the I'nlted States has doubled
since 1897 and neatly trehlcd In the
decade. These liguies i elate to values,
Measuied by quantity tho Increase has
been even gi eater, tho expoi ts In 1901
being 7.670,149 tons, against 2,399,039
ton- in 1S91, thus making tho total ex
ports of 1901 in quantity moie than
thiee times as much as In 1V.11
The I'nlted Stales now stands third
In the list of coal exporting countries
of the win Id, The coal expoit flguies
of the piintipal countiies uf the win Id
In 199 show that while llolglum slight
ly exceeded the I'nlted Slates In the
total number of tons expoitid, her Im
ports weie more Ithan one-half as
great as her expoit1-, making lur net
expoitatlon of toal much less than that
of the I'nlted States The figures of
coal cxpotts during 1900 recently pub
lished b the British government, a
copy of wide h has just reached the
butea of statistics, show that the coal
expoits of the thiec piintipal coal ex
poit. ng countiies the I'nlted States,
(lOitnany and Ihe 1'nlted Kingdom in
1900 were: I'nlted States, 7,!ir.S.O00 tons;
Oeimany. JS,tr5 00f tons, and I'nltecl
Kingdom. r,S. 105,000 Thus, while the
glow th of the coal ixports fiom the
I'nlted States shows a huge peicentage
of Inciease, those figures of tho expoi
tatlon of coal fiom Germany and the
I'nlted Kingdom show that the field
occupied by those commies, is still
nuitli laiger than that which the 1'nlt
od States now supplies.
In giowth of both txpoits and pio
diiition. however, the I'nltid Stntoso
had made much more rapid advance
than any other country. The total
quantil of toal produced in the I'nlted
Kingdom was, In lhc, lu7,.M5i,000 tons.
In 1900, L'jr.,lsi,noo tons, while In the
I'nlttcl States the pioductlou was, in
KnM'i, 100,t,fil,000, and ill 1900, 241.1JJ.O0O.
Thus the I'nlted Kingdom since 1S&G
has Ini leased her pioductlou but about
SO pel ei'iii., while the I'nlted States
his incieased hers nearly 130 pel sent.
The tost of coal has meantime In
cieased much moi e rapidly In the
I'nlted Kingdom than In tho I'nlted
States The value of the 157 million
tons of toal mined In the I'nlted King
dom in 1SM5 Is put by tho statement of
tho Hritish government above refeired
to at 3S million pounds sterling, and
of the J25 million tons mined In 1900 Is
put nt 121 millions sterling, Thus,
while tho quantity mined in tho I'nlted
Kingdom has'lncreased but 50 per cent,
from XS0 to 1900, tho value has mean
time increased over 200 per cent On
the other hnnd, tho value of the 100
million tons of coal mined in the I'nlted
States In ISSfl was, nccoidlng to the
same authority, 32 million pounds ster
ling, and that of the 245 million tons
mined In 1900, C7 millions sterling.
Thus, In the I'nlted States, while tho
quantity Increased about 150 per cent ,
the value of the coal mined Increased
but a little over 100 per cent.
The telatlve increase In the tost of
coal In the i'nlted Kingdom and tho
I'nlted States Is shown In an even
nunc striking form In the statement of
the British government above lefen.d
to by u table which gives the price
per ton of coal In the I'nlted Kingdom
and I'nltecl States In 1SS8 and 1900, ic
spcetlvwly. It shows that the price In
the I'nlted Kingdom udvanced from
5 shillings per ton to 10s. 9d., from IbbS
to 1900. while In the United 'States it
fell from 6s. to 5s. Ti$i. per ton in tho
same lime. Anothei table In the same
statement shows tho relative value per
ton of coal produced taken at the pit's
mouth in the I'nlted States, United
Kingdom, Germany, France nnd Bel

President John Mitchell, of the I'nl

expected, but telephoned Socretaiy
John T. Dcmpsey, of Distilct No. 1,
that he would bo unable to be In

mammoth labor parade which preceded
it. There weio estimated to be -5 MO
persons to listen to his addiess hi the
gjvut audience which thionged the

held.
In tho collide of his speech he uigcd
all mine workers, englneeis, firemen
nnd otheis to come Into the lanks of
the United Mine Workers of America,
declaring that nothing could bo effect

the collieries acted In union. In

company with violation of last April's
agreement, legardlng the discharging
of men nftlliaterl with the organization.
He did not counsel a Mrlke, but said:
"If this company does not change Its

Continuing he chaiged tho Delaware

of cauls, he claimed, was a matter of
protection, and the only way of de
termining which miners weie members

A Valuable Work.
An encyclopedia that comes out every
month Is the latest novelty. It is n
publication which no man of affairs, no
one who would keep abieast of the
times, can do without.
It Is entitled "The Cm tent Cncyclo
podia" and Is published by The Modern
Research society. 133 La Salle street,
Chicago, This society was oiganlzed
by a corps of distinguished specialists
for the purpose of furnishing reliable
information on cuirent subjects. The
lmcyclopedla is a monthly iccoid of
human piogiess it has as icgular con
tiibutois ovei lifty noted authoiltles.
It furnishes the latest Information on
hlstoiy. literature, science, education,
art, etc. Hath Issue Is arranged nl
phobetlcally and has a complete Index.
The great? advantage to the busy man
Is obvious. He has tho latest informa
tion conveniently classified and In
dexed for quick refeiome The great
defect of costly encyclopedias Is that
they quickly get out of date on many
subjects. This work renews Its youth
month by month. The numbers aie
beautifully pilnted nnd Illustrated,
The woik merits the highest success.
Sample pages will be sent on applica
